Have you shown your test shots to Canon? Did you confirm that you are using a filter or no filter? If you are using a filter with the 50L, I would take the filter off.
I own this lens and while this lens is not the 24-70 II as far as sharpness is concerned, it does produce some rather sharp images even wide open which I have done many times.
I suggest that you return the lens to Canon and include your test shots. What "within range" means is that Canon won't recalibrate the lens if it is within a particular tolerence specific to the lens. Mine back focused slightly and I did have Canon re-calibrate the lens and they did confirm it was back-focusing. Once re-calibrated, it needs no AFMA.
Hope you can get things resolved as my 50L is one of my most used lenses....Show more →
Hey mogud,
I also love 50mm. But I am not in love with my 50mm 1.2 which is unfortunate. I have always been a big fan of 50mm.
I do not use filters on any of my lenses. A few years ago I did buy UV filters for all my lenses and now they have been laying around. I should sell the filters because I do not use them anymore.
I also have the 24-70 II and I have to agree that it is very very sharp. I own a lot of the Canon primes and I am happy with all of them except with the 50mm.
Tomorrow I will redo the test manually focusing.
I have never been a fan of 3rd party lenses. But the new sigma looks promising. It is very possible that I will swap.
