RonaldS.Jr. Prodigal "Brick" Layer  More info | Nov 08, 2006 19:54 | #1 So I was just about to order an 85 1.8 to tide me over until I can get the L, but then I took a peek at the MTF charts on it. Now I don't consider these to be gold, but it seems edge sharpness on full frame could be a concern. Am I nuts? Is this something I should be worried about? Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

How can this be possible? Either you are too picky or Canon sells a +1k lens which you have to return numerous times (I've read 15 times in the forum)... Which is the truth?

Which is the truth? ohh, you are new here!!!!! ronnie doesnt keep gear more than a month. he has a habit of selling stuff to buy other stuff, getting bored of it, then buying back the other stuff. in this case the 24-70 he has let go of and re bought 9times, and were giving him a hard time about it.
