Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is an APS-C standard zoom lens built for Canon’s EF-S mount DSLR system. Covering a focal range equivalent to approximately 24-136mm in full-frame terms, it spans a broad everyday shooting range from wide-angle through short telephoto in a single lens, with the wider starting focal length providing more scene coverage than a conventional 18mm kit zoom. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/3.5 at the wide end to f/5.6 at full extension, and built-in optical Image Stabilization helps compensate for camera movement during handheld shooting. The USM ultrasonic motor delivers fast, quiet, and responsive autofocus performance suitable for both stills and video use, and full-time manual focus override allows direct focus adjustment without disengaging autofocus.
