Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM - The Brick (Part 2)

Have anyone tried 24-70 f/2.8 vs 70-200 f/2.8?

i´am pretty sad about results of my lens, very soft wideopen at 70mm up to f/7.1, when it finally matches results from my 70-200 at f/2.8

about 100% crops :

Photographed my cousins wedding which is the first wedding I've ever shot. I bought this lens cause everyone said I would need it and I did! Probably used this for more than half the total shots, it's a keeper!

Well done! You're a brave guy, I would not want the pressure of being the photog at a relative's wedding! These look really good, I hope the newlyweds like them!

Here is my latest shoot. This is my first time shooting a supervillain it was pretty exciting. Let me know what you guys think

yeah idk. i have not gotten those results either. i bought mine second hand about 2-3 years ago. could be something with your lens. your actual settings would be helpful too.. for instance this shot was taken @
f2.8
Iso 1600
1/100s


i was around 2.5 - 3ft away from the bottle
i had a bit of cam shake when i pressed the shutter and even with that, it not near as blurry as your shot. 100%crop with 0 processing

thanks, both of my shots were taken on tripod on same settings and ISO.
i compared my copy to my friend´s 24-70 and there is huge difference especially wideopen on 70mm, so mine is probably one of these bad copies haunting users around the world.

Just little test (about 100% ctop), 70mm f/2.8

My friend good 24-70 f/2.8

Ya I can clearly see.. Wow.. Have you tried getting it serviced?

I've had somewhat of the same issue with mine. Post wedding season, it's going to Canon.
