[Good contrast throughout. Better at long end than short end. Way better than 17-40 and comparable but lesser centre/mid to ef 16-35 f4]
[I care more about performance at f8 or f11 where I expect the lens to perform much better, so if Canon MTF are close to reality its a good but not fantastic lens]
French review https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=0TzO89hSVJo says:
Uncorrected at widest its a 13mm lens with significant barrel distortion and almost black corners
[Typically in landscape I do some cropping to 16x9 or square or just readjusting for artistic presences so if the scene does not demand distortion correction I get better than 15mm]
Sun stars are not great but okay at f16
Resolution centre is comparable to high price lens
Resolution at edge is little lower but quite good.

Another good video at infinity see 1:18 on
Looks pretty good at f8, f11, corners and centre
starburst at f16 not crisp but okay
I think the above show the 15-30 to be a great backpacking landscape lens.
