A Duck with the new 24-70 F2.8 L

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the original thread where I asked you folks to help me decide between 24-105 and 24-70 however as it's title was asking for help on a lens choice I figured this duck might get missed (best thing for it I think)

Anyway....This is the lens that arrived earlier this month from US.

It has stunning colour and bokeh, though I'm still learning about DOF especially close up @ 70mm.

So as promised I am dutifully supplying 'a duck' of sort for your delectation

As the pix were just way too small to see at 100k forum rules, I hope you don't mind a link...

fab, hope you enjoy your new L

Congratulations! You're going to love this lens. Just got one myself. How much did you end up paying with taxes and all that?

Very nice pictures also, but I must confess that I haven't read anything about 100kb being the limit. It's no problem for me to post pictures sized at 500kb.

(Boy I'd like to own a 5D!)

Got it for $1064 from B&H which included a Canon instant cash back.

Paid for a Mack extended warranty and shipping (no tax as shipped out of state to PA). All in all about $1150.

As for the size limit if you use the upload feature it will allow 2 pix and not 1 byte more that 100k was my recent experience.

Is this what you meant? http://surl.se/czxu or are you referring to size issues?

(Sorry for going off-topic)

Off topic or not, that's good to know thanks!

I uploaded a FF picture from the 5D just as a test.....I guess I should have cropped it.....This was taken with to 100-400.

Yeah, now it's quite easy to judge the sharpness
