I used my new 24-70 this morning doing homeschool portrait sessions. I noticed that it didn't seem to lock in on spot focus point as nicely as my 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens does.

Is this normal?

From my experience with the 24-70 its not as sharp as the 70-200 but I never had any focus issues unless I was shooting in an extremely dark environment, not sure what you mean by spot focus but if the focus is significantly slower it might be a lens issues because it should focus very quickly
Hope this helps

This wasn't sharpness, but just focus being a little slower than the 70-200. I may have CPS check it out; not sure if they still check the v1 out anymore.
