Anyone aware of any head-to-head 17-55/15-85 comparisons on the net? It's probably still too early for that. Don't worry, we will start seeing such comparisons soon enough. Alex | flickr

I smell a conspiracy..There isnt one in Pennsylvania at all, and unless i go all the way to NYC there isnt one in a NY Best Buy... Sorry to hear. However, knowing BestBuy, the ones near you will probably be getting stock in a couple of days.

Being a student is rough As a matter of interest, why did you rule out the Sigma 17-70? It's my current walkaround, but I'll probably replace it with this new Canon for reasons of focal length and USM. I'm always interested in other views, however. Graeme

DaveSt Senior Member 407 posts Joined Jul 2006 Location: Lima, Ohio More info | I'm wondering if this lens might make a good one-lens solution for our upcoming Disney trip. I was contemplating either the 17-55 or 24-105, but this one seems to cover a nicer focal range. The slow aperture is the only thing holding me back at this point. Dave

I suggest sell a few of your exisitng lenses and purchase the new 15-85mm and also get the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Silverfox1 POTN Feedback / TC Extender Tests / Gear List

So yeah, can't really surf too many pages, especially ones with pics, so I was hoping someone could offer a summary on what's known about this lens so far. Thanks fellas.
