Does anyone out there have experience with both lenses? If so, which do you prefer and why?
Thanks,

I want a sharp lens for outdoor, portrait and cave photography. I particularly enjoy wide shots from the tops of mountains, sometimes including sunsets, which brings us to the 17-55’s big negative – flare. That is why I am leaning toward the 15-85. Is the 15-85 wide enough for cave photography? Is the 17-55 flare a problem for you?
The 10-22 is interesting, but I dislike distortion. I remember a Mulu shot where the person in the shot appears to be standing at 60 degrees instead of 90 degrees. Ruined the shot!
BTW, my other lens is a 100 f/2.8L Macro and I love it.
