I own EOS 350D kit, 430EX flash, tripod... looking for a good lens.
EF-S 17-55 IS USM is great lens, but now there is EF-S 15-85 IS USM.
Which one of these two are for me??? [:D]
Thanks!

Questions: Whats your budget?
1000$
If you could dish out a little bit extra, why not go fora 24-105 L f/4 lens? Keep that lens for life for any body upgrade in the future!
24 on 1.6 crop (38.4)
Is it long for weddings, and general purpose?
I use it for weddings all the time on my 50D 1.6 crop, never a major problem, just take another step back or two :P The quality of the lens wins it over by a miel for me, despite it being that little bit longer, but not long enough to say its a pain at all!
I'm sure that is great lens but it's little of my budget.
Go with the 15-85mm, has a very nice focal range :)
Unless someone has other ideas.
I will wait for 15-85 review.
Honestly, I'm not sure if the 24-105 f/4's maximum aperture is wide enough for a wedding lens. I own the 70-200 f/2.8 IS and the 17-55 f/2.8 IS, and found myself wishing I had an even wider aperture when I was shooting my last wedding. To that end I purchased a 50mm f/1.4 for my main body and a 35mm f/2 for my second. Receptions are notoriously dark, and the widest aperture you can get will likely help.
