Question
I currently have a t3i with a 50 f1/8, 18-55 kit; and 55-250 f/4.0-5.6. I love the 50, but outside of setup shots; I seem to grab the 18-55 mostly just for the flexibility (Mostly used on the wide end). For my next lens; I'm torn between a Tokina 11-16 2.8 (fast, sharp, and wide) and the Canon 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS (USM and Flexibility)
I only have enough budgeted before my next trip (San Francisco) for one lens; and I'm torn. I probably won't bring every lens with me when travelling; which has me leading toward the 15-85; my question is more so is there anything I'm missing/should consider? This will be my first "quality" glass. I don't plan on going full frame any time soon. I could just rent both lens for a few day and see which I like more; but that would delay the next purchase... :)
edit For note; I don't plan on bringing a tripod or monopod with me while travelling; which means either wider aperture (2.8 on tokina) or IS (15-85) would make a big difference when shooting night/indoors... I don't know which would work out better for me..
Answer
Look through your recent photos. Which scenes could have been captured better if they had been shot with one of the candidates? Also, think of photos that you could have taken, but didn't even try due to limitations of your gear. Ditto with ideas that you could turn into photos in future. Which lens would help you with those?
Pick the lens that will bring you more good photos.
