15mm EF f Canon test
Pedemeter meets all the expectations of someone wanting to monitor their steps, miles, and amount of time spent walking. It also collects data for a whole week. Appears to be very accurate.

USM UD Canon f/3.5-5.6 IS EF-S 15-85mm for you
Excellent walk-around lens. If you have to pick one high-quality walk-around lens for your Canon APS-C (1.6x) dSLR, this is it. I debated between this one and the Canon 17-55m f/2.8 IS; the additional range won over (the extra 2mm on the wide end helps noticeably, and longer telephoto reach is nice too), and being 25% cheaper didn’t hurt. The big advantage of the other lens’ f2.8 max aperture could be important to some. I shoot a decent bit of video and don’t mind the smaller aperture for a little more latitude in focusing errors; even my stills are rarely shot below f5.6, though I do have other lenses to cover other needs (50mm f/1.4 USM and 70-200 f/2.8L IS).
Coupled with the EOS 7D, this lens is perfect as a fairly compact and very capable kit. Images are sharp and colorful, focusing is quick. Build quality feels solid. No issues at all!
Why 4 stars only then? Dunno, found Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM UD hard to give 5 stars when I compare it with my faster L lenses, even though those are much more expensive. Guess it’s an absolute rating scale for me
