Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM - The Brick

Lovely shot Kristy.

wooohoo i sold my 17-40 and sigma 30 and am going to buy this lens and then next month by a 5dc before i get to shoot rob zombie and korn.

I was trying my RRS BH-55 last night with the 5DMK2 and the brick....here's my failed attempt...too lazy to edit it, straight from the camera converted to jpeg.

Just got back from the motorcycle show. Got to use several models. Warm-up shot...

You must have been a VERY good boy in a past life, Keith.

I bought my 24-70 used and the zoom ring isnt smooth at all...is this normal with that lens ?

I've heard that about new 24-70 lenses. If you look around at the different online vendors that sell this lens, you'll more than likely find at least one posts that has that complaint.

I don't know if that would signify that anything is wrong with the lens or not. Sorry.

70mm@2.8 no sharpening applied

Goat at 1/250 and f/2.8 and ISO 100. No post processing was used here. I love the bokeh this lens produces, and the the DOF, which can be quite thin at times, works well if you want that, too.

f2.8 1/160th 580EX II fill. I blurred the background a bit.

I don't think you would have to worry about the background being of any distraction from the subject
