Back to the OP, I notice a little softness at close to MFD on my 70-200/4 IS but we are talking about butterfly and flower sized subjects. I haven't really done tests to see if it's just at 200mm though. For those shots, I have a macro lens though. For portraits, I never see a softness with it unless I messed something up.

Perfect, thanks for the reply, sounds like I wont have any issues then. I have no real desire to shoot such small items really. If I ever fancy macro I will first go with a Raynox DCR-250 and probably use that on the 15-85. Its not a big waste of money if I never use the Raynox but a dedicated 100 2.8L IS would be a much bigger waste.

Cheers.
