Great range, poor performance

Re: Great range, pretty good performance

I agree.  My 15-85 is my go-to lens for walkaround on my 70D.  I prefer it to my 18-135 STM.

I tried the EFS 17-55 f2.8 and I thought the 15-85 lens was sharper at 15mm wide open. The 17-55 is a little soft at F2.8 indoors at close range and again the focal range isn't as fun as the 15-85. I have my Sigma lens when I want a faster lens so the 15-85 was the better choice for me. I love it!
