I found the MTF chart to be quite poor though...both in center and corner It's not one of Canon's sharpest L primes, that's for sure. But it's generally sharp enough and can be sharpened further in PP if required. But compared to a 35L or an 85IIL...it's a bit dissapointing wide open "out of the can".

Those 3 are amazing out of the box wide open. I heard some mixed opinions with the 50L and some even say its comparable to sigmalux or better.

jwcdds Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 25, 2011 10:14 | #4770 Nice set Tom. Though I probably would have opted to clone out the OOF area in this photo. At first glance, one might mistaken it for sensor dust. (Or at least I did.) Julian

But it's probably birds in the background but they're so blurry, they no longer look like birds and become distractions.
