Thanks for sharing Stan. I'm really really liking what I see wide open at 70mm. The old 24-70 had some of the nicest bokeh for a zoom IMO, and from the looks of it the new one carries on that tradition.

My guess is a softbox above and to the left with a touch of fill from the camera. Still, sharp and contrasty, no?
Both lights were hard. I was using a pair of 600 flashes. One on camera and one to the left on a stand. This was an engagement shoot and I find a softbox or umbrella hard to walk around with without an assistant. It's easy to move a flash on a stand. The camera was in manual but the flashes were both shooting ETTL. The on camera flash was dialed down 1.7 stops. I think using two hard lights sometimes almost looks like one larger soft light.
Looks like killer lens right up with my 70-200/2,8IS Mk2 and the 200/2 just as StanJ tells us! Got mine this evening and only had minutes of daylight to play with! So hopefully can do some testing during weekend. Love the sharpness and back ground rendering So far happy as a clam

Hi Mike, no need to apologize to me, i am not the OP but personally, I wouldn't be too thrilled if people would do that to a thread that I started asking for images taken with a specific lens to be posted. You are not the first, BTW.
Joshual, i have no doubt that 24-70LII is the latest best from Canon but it's just the half efforts that canon has been doing last many many moons since the final IQ is just not from the lens itself...but the receiver as well. Who knows that all our older lenses can be twice of their performing if they were used with better improved sensor(s)...as illustrated by above third party samples.
