Werner,
You continue to blow me away with your superb 24-70 pics! They are not only great pics but contradicts much of what I read about this lens. Its because of you that I have decided to buy this lens, which arrives next week. Fingers crossed!

The 24-70 is very versatile and much better, at least my copy, than its internet reputation.
You have of course to use the LR profile otherwise a shot like "Light " would not work due to strong distortion. With 36 mp you have a lot of headroom for these software corrections. Sharpness is very good as is micro contrast. I use the lens with no hesitation on the far and wide end, although it is said to be bad at the extremes.
Hope you will have fun, use it and...Show more →

I agree with Werner it is a fine lens. I think it is the heavy distortion that puts people off. But 'distortion is the norm with mirrorless lens as it can be corrected in the EVF unlike an optical VF. And of course it is easily corrected in Lightroom via the lens profile.
(In case you didnt know, you can avoid constantly checking the lens profile box with every shot in LR by checking it once, holding down the 'alt' key and then clicking the set as default button that appears.)
A local FMer (hi Gene) and I bought this lens independently several weeks ago. We compared our notes after the initial testing we both agree that the internet reputation of that lens is worse, significantly worse, if I may add, than its actual performance. This lens fits the bill of an excellent walk-around lens and its OSS is an added bonus. Oh, yes, it is lagging behind my Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 Mark II in the corner performance, especially in the short range but I believe that this lens deserves more credit than what's going around in on-line communities for whatever reasons. If you don't want the AF in a native FE zoom lens and don't need the OSS then this lens is not for you.

Congrats Phillip! Beautiful , 1st is my favorite.
AGeoJO: Agree 100% about the 24/70. AF and OSS can be very helpful from time to time...although i use most of the time manual lenses.

Nice shots, hopefully you also managed to be in Toronto when it wasn't cloudy and raining
The flare in the image taken on Dundas street, was that due to not having the lens hood attached?
Cheers

No, I think it had something to do with carlights. I never noticed any flare issues with this lens.
