Re: 15-85mm Lens Blur

I couldn't tell much looking at your posted pics. However, shoot more test pics at wide open aperture. It took me 3 tries to get a copy of this lens that was decentered, soft along the left 20% at wide angle. For me, this has been a common problem with zoom lenses. It usually will occur at certain FL or even distances. Haven't had good luck with obtaining a repair for this issue. Also, I always test on two different cameras to be sure the lens mount isn't the issue. Fix lens cameras can also have this problem. Apparently, lens elements aren't precisely aligned and once assembled a fix may be difficult.
