Great range, poor performance

Re: Great range, poor performance

I got 15-85 for my T2i. I found that it had a bad problem with blurriness in the right quarter, particularly in the 16mm-to-35mm range. In manual focus, it varies depending on whether you reach focus clockwise or counter-clockwise. Also, if the lens/camera is rapped onto the open palm, the next images can improve, but not predictably. My guess is that a lens element, or the IS unit, is loose.

Sent it Canon on warranty and was told 'looks good to us'. It's now out of warranty, so my only choice is to send it into Canon for repair, on my own dime. Any suggestions on this ?
