Is there anything wrong with the 17-50? If you are not happy with it, the 15-85 is a one lens "solution." You may want a lens for low light, and the 35F2 will work much better for general use. The 50 gives the view of a short telephoto (~85) on a crop.

The Tamron is great, I have it for couple of years now and i'm happy with it but i've noticed that sometimes 50mm is just not enough
the 15mm would be great for landscapes when i trek and the extra mm on the far side could be of great help taking portraits (alto the DOF is better with the tamron)

That's why i seek advice i cant really decide
