Hey guys - how is your 50L from f1.2 to f1.8 ? Mine is pretty soft :(

Its not until f/2.0 that it starts to get acceptable, and f2.5 where I really like the sharpness - but I didn't get this lens to shoot at f2.5, ya know...

I think I'm going to send it into Canon for calibration and see what happens.

I see some images here said to be shot wide open and they are tact sharp - makes me jealous, lol...

thoughts?

EDIT: - I did many focus test and dialed in good (no front/back) focus at -13 MA. Its not a back/front focus issue. Its just flat out soft :(

My copy (build date Jan2011) is nicely sharp at 1.2, then razor from 1.4 onwards.

It has not left my 5D ii since I screwed it on last February.


Instead of loving things and using people, why not use things and love people? :-)

m.shalaby,
I kinda wondering what you mean by your's is pretty soft at 1.2 - even after AFA correction... do you mean when you view it 100% crop, or when you just view the finished product. The pics on your flickr with the 50L are amazing. ;)
