the original pic is too contrasty for my tastes, you have clipped the shadow areas and lost so much detail. It just doesnt work IMO. Ease up on the post processsing. And I agree what others have said with a TSE lens

Yes, I can see that now, especially on the shadow side of the 24-70. It seems that many images I post look different on the web than they do in PS. Thanks for the feedback.
A little bit OT question, but is there any reason why you do not use a filter on 24-70? I heard 70-300DO does not go well with a filter, but I am curious about 24-70.
Thank you.

BTW, nice set of lenses!!
Thanks Hiromu. I do use a filter on the 24-70, but just happened to have a polarizer on at the time, and took it off for the pic.
Looks like you have invested sufficiently in your glass, but not your support setup. Still using the Manfrotto stuff. It looks a little inconsistent having a collar on one lens, but not the other that utilizes it.
Other than those nits, I can see the setup does a nice job for small product work.

The Hoya filter on the 17-40mm - ever have any problems with light fall off with this filter+ lens combo. On my FF, there is significant light fall off with the older Hoya filter. I currently use the thin 5mm filters on my 17-40mm when using FF. Any effect due to the filter on 1.6x crop D-SLR's

The 70-200 is mostly used for wedding photojournalism, where a tripod gets in the way. I do love my NeoTec tripod though, the automatically locking legs make for really quick setups. Still not fast enough for a wedding, though.
