The lens is often compared to Canon's L-series lenses, as it rivals the premium segment in terms of optical performance and level of sharpness.
Replacement
The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is one of the best models among the Japanese manufacturer's diverse fleet of lenses designed for APS-C format DSLRs. To a large extent, this is facilitated by the versatility of the lens — the focal length range of 15-85 mm (24-136 mm in 35 mm equivalent) covers all the basic needs of amateur photographers. It will be a great option to replace the kit Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, as at the wide end the lens captures 10° more into the frame, and at the long end it gives an additional 30mm of focal length, which will be useful for shooting portraits or not very distant objects.
sharpness
In terms of sharpness, the lens is very good throughout the focal length range, but its level can drop slightly at the edges of the picture when shooting at the longest end. For portraits, this is not critical at all, but such a state of affairs can spoil the landscape. However, landscapes at a focal length of 85 mm are shot infrequently.
Scheme
The optical scheme of the lens includes 17 elements in 12 groups. At the same time, three elements are aspherical (reduce distortion), and one more is low-dispersion (to combat chromatic aberrations). There is no internal focus, so when zooming out of the front edge, a rather big “trunk” will come out.
filming
Despite the completely non-portrait aperture values, the lens does a good job of blurring the background, while drawing beautiful bokeh. And in shooting landscapes, architecture and any other everyday scenes, it’s completely difficult for her to find any alternative.
