Anyone with experience of 15-85 (and ideally 17-55mm, too)?

Re: Anyone with experience of 15-85 (and ideally 17-55mm, too)?

I've used the 15-85 for some years now, first on my 40D and now on a 70D and I don't find any balance issues.  Nor have I had decentering problems with it.  When I bought the lens, I debated between it and the 17-55 but an analysis of thousands of my shots found a significant percentage in that 55-85mm range.  Also, I don't do much shooting that really requires the faster lens so the choice ended up being pretty straightforward for me and I'm quite happy with it.  I own a number of lenses but find that I don't like to switch much so this has proved to be a perfect walkaround lens for me.
