Re: FF closest equivalent to 15-85 EF-S?

The Canon 28-135 would be really close to the 15-85. It's the same aperture range, almost the exact same focal length, and very similar build. Most reports list them with similar IQ, with the 15-85 winning on the wide end, and the 28-135 winning on the tight end.

I have owned the 24-105 and loved it for multi purpose, but the 28-135 will probably feel just like the 15-85, as its SO similar. The 24-105 is less range, and a fair bit different with the fixed aperture, and much larger size, its a great lens, but not as similar.

Depends on your needs I guess.
