    The EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens is one of two lenses announced by Canon in September when details of the EOS 7D were revealed. It's offered with the 7D body in the Platinum kit and covers a wide-to-telephoto zoom range of roughly 5.6 times. A built-in image stabiliser claims a four f-stop advantage in shutter speed settings and an ultrasonic motor (USM) provides quick and quiet autofocusing. Read more

    Pros: image quality, build quality, USM fast and silent focussing, zoom range (particularly wide-angle). Cons: price, maximum aperture, only suitable for APS-C bodies. This an excellent “walkaround”/ general purpose lens. Image quality is very good, image stabilisation effective and focussing fast, accurate and silent. The lens has a substantial, quality feel, is nicely sized and weighted and comfortable to hold and use. Read more
