I love my 15-85 EF-S. Lightweight, versatile, with much better image quality than superzooms.

What are some good equivalents for full frame? I shoot a lot of slides with EOS film bodies and really want to rationalise into an EF only kit.

I'm thinking maybe the 24-105 f/4L or the 24-105 STM

It depends what you mean by "equivalent". If you don't have a full-frame digital body you will always have the problem of the different field of view of your digital and film bodies. I'm not sure trying to use the same lens on film and crop digital would rationalise anything! Or will you upgrade the body as well?

I'd get rid of the crop gear and would use a full frame body so it's full frame and EF across the board.

By equivalent I mean similar equivalent focal lengths, similar image quality and weight, similar all around experience...
