I agree. I tried using this lens for video on my 6D and IQ was not good at all

(video tends to bring out the best and worst of all lenses).

Is that due to the lower resolution of video?

Bought a nice fixed F2.8 28mm IS by Canon and the difference was astounding.

Yes, if you only intend to shoot at 28mm then by all means purchase a prime lens at that focal length.

However I don't find the center quality of the cheaper older zoom to be all that bad:

This would look fine on a 1.5X crop camera although the edges and the top of the image look pretty bad in full frame.
