The least one could say that in APS-C land Canon users have all the choices.
I own several lenses in and I am positively impressed.
the kit 18-55 STM is already decent
17-55 f2.8 is IMHO an amazing lens, till now I can't find a combo that beats 7D plus 17-55 in the medium range.
15-85 seems a very decent performer on paper at least, testing it tomorrow
18-135: have used this lens and was very pleased with the results.
and now I have three lenses: 18-55, 17-55 and 15-85 and it's hard to let one go....

<p style="font-family:'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">.......... so it was with a tremendous amount of anguish, and reflecting that it would only be foolish to ignore his expensive professional expertise......

<p style="font-family:'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"> ....that I found a far cheaper psychiatrist and bought a load more!
One simply can't have enough kit lenses.

Or wide-angles, as it is in my case.
Come on, wide-angles are necessary! ^_^ Kit-lenses?
I've a bigger variety in wides than in "longer than 85 mm".

on 4x5 large format 85mm is in UWA territory
(22mm FF equivalent).

If money had been no object, I would've added a fisheye and a rectilinear mega-wide (like the Sigma 8-16) to my 16-35 and 24/1.4 lenses. That'd make four of 'em.
Longer than 85, I'd still get a 85/1.8 VC prime and probably a supertele. Hoarding knows no bounds - thankfully I don't earn nearly enough to manifest it so blatantly.
Just checked.
I still have some space left in one or two drawers.
Funny.
What will look good in those bloody drawers? <_<
Something round, probably black? Heavy? Shimmering? Slightly vibrating when I look at it in a certain angle? *droolmodeON*

I begin to understand that some people carry 25kg of photo-stuff around,
