Love this lens, but it's amazing that a tiny bit of stopping down make a huge difference. It's okay at 2.8 but at 3.2 it's super duper sharp... or is it just my copy...

It does get even sharper and perhaps a bit contrastier stopped down slightly. I often shoot it wide open when using my 1D Mark III, and at f/3.2 or f/4 on my 5DC. _______________

Lensrental has an article on lens age...in short, the 24-70L can get soft over time. Send it in.
