Canon's premium APS-C standard zoom — 24-136mm equivalent with IS and USM, the best EF-S walkaround lens.

The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM was released in 2009 as an enthusiast-grade APS-C standard zoom, covering 24-136mm equivalent with ring USM autofocus and 4-stop IS. At 575g and 72mm filter thread it is moderate. Seventeen elements in 12 groups. Seven circular aperture blades. Ring USM provides full-time manual focus override — distinguishing it from the less expensive EF-S 18-55mm with micro USM.

The optical design uses 17 elements in 12 groups. Seven circular aperture blades. The 72mm filter thread. At 575g the lens is moderate. Minimum focus distance of 0.35m. Approximately 4-stop IS. Ring USM provides fast, quiet AF with full-time manual override. Variable aperture from f/3.5 at 15mm to f/5.6 at 85mm. EF-S APS-C image circle.

The 24-136mm equivalent range is the 15-85mm's practical advantage over the 18-55mm kit zoom: 15mm at f/3.5 provides wider-than-kit environmental coverage, while 85mm at f/5.6 provides short telephoto portrait compression beyond the 55mm kit range. Ring USM enables professional-grade AF response and full-time MF without switching modes. IS at 4 stops extends the handheld envelope.

On the used market the Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is affordable as an enthusiast APS-C standard zoom. Condition checks: ring USM AF response, IS engagement, 72mm front element for marks, zoom ring smoothness. EF-S = APS-C only. Compatible with all Canon EOS APS-C bodies.
