thanks! that was on my 50D. I have a second copy on my 7D and it is just as sharp

Its comforting to know that 85mm can deliver the goods... sharpening added or otehrwise

Focal Length: 85.0mm
Aperture: f/8.0
Exposure Time: 0.0025 s (1/400)
ISO equiv: 100

I shot some birds directly above me with a blue sky and saw - I think its called light fall-off in the corners.

Cropping it out is no issue of course, but try for yourself shooting a blue sky and note the corners. I'm not complaining, I know its common in likely the majority of lenses, and I imagine had I shot at f/8 instead of f/5.6 it 'may' have helped.

I hope Canon updates the 50D firmware to include the 15-85mm lens to correct the fall-off issue as it has for all but the most recent.

Does DPP recognize lens issues and apply correction? I think if I recall it does, and addresses the 15mm barrel distortion and other issues. ... I think.

anyways, not birds, but here are a few from less than a week ago. 24 & 15mm (15mm showing its barrel distortion, I don't use DPP...if I shoot @15mm - guess I should :confused

The EOS software added the 15-85mm to the lens peripheral illumination correction database, just link the camera and you should be ok.

Here is my new toy, headphone Beyerdynamic DT880 (250 Ohm version)

I'm very pleased with the clarity and sharpness this lens delivers.
