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

Had to lug around the brick on my 5Dmkii on my honeymoon. Borrowed it for a friend. Even though it was heavy it took care of everything for me.

Tareq,
this one is my favorite... the dynamic range appears greater - more pop. Faster Shutter w/ reduced flash output?
What combination of camera and lens capture this beautiful work?

couple of new ones

24mm - f/8.0 - 1/125s - ISO200

Took the brick out for a walk in the woods today... got a work out for sure! but its the autumn season's peak here in the south, and i couldn't stay inside the house! CC is always welcome.

Thank you very much!
This shot was done using my Profoto Pro Head [the power was almost ran out and i turned it off to use 580EXII], i remember i used a shuuter speed around 1/125-1/200, i have to check this shot exif to be sure, and i think i also reduced the light output to save power battery but it was too late.

I used 1Ds MarkIII as camera, and the thread is 24-70 so this is the lens used, too bad i was planning to shoot him with my Hasselblad but that day i was in hurry to meet him so i dropped Hassy by mistake and it has an issue which i can see on the shot [Some kind of cracked/damaged filter or mirror].

Well, after much torturous deliberation I can say that as of today I'm the proud owner of this lens...here's a shot from my work window before I left for the day...SOOC (except for the crop):

awesome, work indeed... thanks for the details!
(heaven's... I hope the Hasselblad makes a quick, uncostly recovery!)

Not my typical photo. 5 days of snow brought down several trees. We had an early Thanksgiving dinner with several friends over. Prior to dinner, we had a "tug of war" and pulled the tree off the roof.
On day 5 running on generator power.
