...One of the things I've noticed on forums,. the moment you make a claim, you are guaranteed that someone will come along and say otherwise.

I've never heard such rubbish!

135mm f2.0 at f4.0 98k

100% center crop of the above image 106k

Dude,

those wet things in the front of your head are called eyes, things will appear much sharper if you open them once in a while. Having said that walking round with them closed lets you find all the sharp things in your local environment.

Yup appropriately sharp BareSummer just like they should be ... not hard edged 'cutouts' as many USM'd 'sharp' images appear to be. Look around you people and notice how much of the real world is not razor sharp Ease back on your USM.

Thanks,

nothing spoils a good picture faster than to much USM. Trouble is that it seems to be the vogue to sharpen a picture to death and then some.

Don't say .
When the heck are you going to test that 14L ?
Where's the hold up ?
I'd really like to see some real good (and not neccessarily "insanely sharp") images taken with the lens.
Judging by the apperances from my end, you and that other collector pall of ours seem to be just sitting on it.

You sound like the kinda fella who's take up the challenge of the 'Fascinating feathery friend/food foto fun' thread Sharpness is dead. Long live imagination!

Sharpest I could find anywhere.
