I always cull and delete my images using DPP full screen quick check for mass edits and then use LR to do the actual editing. DPP looks the best on the screen but that is just due to image size when viewing.

When viewing this at 100% in DPP the neon products logo is absolutely tack sharp.

Thank you Zenon.

Well I picked up my 5D3 and decided to take the 24-70 home as well. I can exchange it for the 70-200 MK2 which I ordered and will definitely keep. Here are the first dozen shots. I have two weeks to decide.
All at 2.8

Crop. Focus point was the leaves in the centre

Suffers in the corners at 2.8 which was mentioned in other reviews. Will tighten up stopped down.

70mm

Crop

I over-sharpened this one a bit

Got this lens Friday and wow... Canon really did an amazing job with this one. Incredible IQ end to end wide open. AF probably the fastest I have ever used. Bokeh is wonderful. Perfect compliment to the 70-200 II.The IQ is identical, if not superior to that of the 70-200. Very impressed.

Thank you all for the samples.
Zenon, the crop at the edge 24mm isn't actually bad. The focus point is a quite a bit further away so I guess it's more about limited dof than poor corners.

Cheers

Here is another sample... 70mm f/2.8.

This shot is SOOC, no adjustments to color/contrast/anything. Just my default LR4 RAW settings. May have lost a little quality due to Photobucket upload.
