Re: Canon EF-S 15-85 IS USM, or something else on a 7D?

I used recently 15-85 with 70D and was quite pleased. my copy was decentered and I eventually sold it because right part of the frame was often enough unsharp while left and center were spot on but if you manage to get nice copy - it's worth trying, sure. it still performs very nice 20 Mpix

Dear Board,

I had the lens and used it on a 20D and 40D with what I considered to be excellent results. I found it to be a great one lens solution for traveling vacation shooting. 90% of my shooting was done outdoors shooting landscapes and scenics, with and without people in them.

Since I moved on to doing more bird and wildlife shooting, I got rid of the lens. Now that I have a 7D that I love, I am looking for a one lens solution for the general work.

Is this still a viable lens, or is there something better to consider?
