I'm thinking about upgrading from my 18-55 STM kitlens and have been looking at the 15-85 USM as a general walking around lens to go with my 700D/T5i.
What has me interested is the extra sharpness, its wider and more reach.

What are your thoughts?
Is the 15-85 worth the money to upgrade from 18-55 STM or are there better alternatives?

edit: Just realized that the 17-55/2.8 or similar is probably more suited to my needs

Check out the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8. I just recently got it and have been happy with it both inside and out. I got it for use inside with low ligth situations and its working great and recently took a walk around outside. I am happy with this lens so far.
