Does seem odd for sure. I\'ll check mine on Monday
I just re read this whole thread and this is really looking very good. Maybe the hype actually will match the quality
Actually I believe this lens is even better than what we\'ve seen and infinity distance tests are very tough on lenses.
Most of the crops taken earlier and posted on this thread had terrible lighting/haze,etc.
I went out and took the same shots at 24, 35, 50 and 70 with optimum lighting and they look so much better. The right light makes a difference.
This is such an amazing lens, It\'s hard to believe it\'s a zoom. We were saying it looks better at f/5.6, f/8, etc.. center to corner but even wide open, the corners are very good.
The 24mm FL is terrific. The other FLs lag slightly behind but are very strong.
I don\'t remember seeing this kind of performance from the Canon EF 24-70/2.8L II, considered the best mid-zoom lens in the market.
I thought I would be using it mainly for landscapes but with that bokeh, it will probably be one of my mostly used lenses. We didn\'t even discuss EyeAF and focus speed. It\'s very fast even in very low light and it\'s silent.
Fred I had a feeling you would get far better results with better light. The first series was not great light at all. Not you fault either. I agree also why I went for this lens was the nice bokeh it looks better than a lot of primes. Man you got me so stocked to get this Monday, what a great call. I had a really good feeling about this lens. I saw some of Brian Smiths New Orleans shot and I knew it right than. Awesome stuff
