I have been searching here and at B&H Photo, to see if there is an adapter to attach my EF-s 15-85mm to a Canon 6D. Does anyone know it a thing like that exists?

In any case, there's no adapter and no room for one, since both lenses have the same flange focal distance. You could use a short extension tube, but you'd lose infinity (and even moderately distant) focus.

Thank you. I never thought about the image circle. I own a 70-200 f/4.0, and a 50mm f/1.8. I was looking for the least expensive way to get a wide angle view. I guess I will have to keep saving my pennies for a 24-xx lens.

To be able to use the lens on a full frame body, I guess.neuroanatomist said:Why would you want to do that?
Cariboucoach said:If you are not using the lens 15-85mm any more, trade it with 24-105L with little top up.
If I could, I would sell the 40D and lens but, my wife wants my daughter to use the camera, so selling it isn't an option now.

I agree that a white box 24-105L would be a great option, a really nice FF std. zoom for a reasonable price.
Assuming the 70-200 is your only EF lens currently, and you don't have the money saved yet for a 24-105, maybe a 40mm pancake would temporarily cover the sub-70mm range until you have money saved up for a 24-XX zoom?

Another to consider is Canon's EF 28mm f/1.8. While not as wide as the 20mm, it is considerably better in terms of image quality. It has low distortion, but a bit of chromatic aberration.
The newer Image-Stabilized primes are pretty good but more expensive than the older generation USM options.

On a budget for me is saving about $20 a week in a dedicated account. So in a year I will have $1040. I would also love the TS-E 24mm. Wide and versatile, but that much more expensive. Maybe I will check back in a year when I have saved enough.
