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

The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a standard zoom lens designed for APS-C-format Canon DSLRs, offering a 24-136mm equivalent focal length range that covers wide-angle to telephoto perspectives. The optical design incorporates one Ultra-Low Dispersion glass element and three aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations, and distortion throughout the zoom range, while a Super Spectra coating reduces flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. An Optical Image Stabilizer reduces camera shake by up to four stops, enabling sharp handheld photography in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.

A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor delivers fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override capability. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality that benefits shallow depth-of-field and selective focus techniques. This versatile standard zoom is an effective general-purpose lens for APS-C DSLR systems.
