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

I don't know the 15-85. I do know -and own- the 17-55mm f/2.8. As you have enough information about sharpness and the like, about handling:

  • The lens is wider and heavier to hold than the kitlens. I don't see any problem here. Hold the lens with your left hand, it's perfectly balanced, and grip the body with your right when needed.
  • The wideness of the lens sometimes blocks part of the light of the build in flash, especially WA and/or close by.

All in my humble opinion of course!
If I seem to talk nonsense or you can't understand me, it's probably my English
