The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM - The high performance, all-round standard zoom lens.

The ring USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive responsive, near-silent high speed auto focus. The ring type USM allows full time manual focus override without having to switch out of AF, for a greater level of usability.

The Canon 15-85mm Lens elements are coated using Canon’s Super Spectra lens coating.

This suppresses flare and prevents ghosting - which is more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. Canon’s Super Spectra coating also helps achieve true colour balance and increase contrast for vivid hi-fidelity images.
