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

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

I have used the 15-85mm on my 7D a lot. It's been 4-5 years since I moved to full frame.

I. Never felt anything wrong with the balance.

II. IQ is not its strength. Lot of CA, excessive distortion.... but a sharp lens. 15mm is quite wide. Very fast AF. Not 4 stops but perhaps 2 stops of IS.

Some stellar choices available today for crop zooms like the sigma 15-30mm f1.8 art.

Not worth spending money on the 17-55mm f2.8 or the 15-85mm canons.
