I had a copy that was soft and picked up a newer used copy a few weeks ago. Haven't had much of a chance to use it, but this copy is much sharper. A few favorites from the one day it got some use, all with a 60d.
To be honest, I think the 24-105 from a focal length perspective would've worked better on the crop camera given available angles and distances. There were a lot of shots that would've had better composition at around 60mm.

Beautiful portraits Ralph...both are spot on! I'm not much of a people shooter, don't have a taste for it, confidence
Inspiring images!
Thank you. There are already a lot of great images shown here (and in compareable threads) showing the greatness of this lens. It was my first "L" and it "infected" me with "Lness".
Imo it is one of the best lenses offered. Very flexible, great IS, tack sharp over the whole range (I usually use it open), perfect priced and the only disadvantadge compared to its "big brother" (2.8 L II IS USM) of one stop less is no big deal at todays bodys ISO 6.400 (or eaven higher) capabilities and is imo fully compensed by its lower weight. Much more comfortable, if you walk around and shoot an event for about four or even more hours.
