And it's good at night with the image stabilisation, shooting at 1/20 is no problem and even 1/10 is possible if you are careful and steady, it isn't a replacement for a fast aperture but if you need night shots it'll give good results.

For buildings, full streets and other non moving subjects, it's going to do the job handheld. True. The IS is good enough. However I switch to primes anyway except if I need the 15mm end.

So long and thanks for all the fish

Here's a shot I took at 85mm that well shows both the sharpness of the lens and the bokeh.

I have shot night street photography with my 15-85. The IS is quite good, allowing handheld down to 1/8 second with reasonable consistency. You have to like 'people in motion' blurring, though - otherwise, you need a fast prime to stop the motion.


Cheers, Damien
