whats the 24-70L's sweet spot?
Every lense seems to have its sweet spot...
at what range do you find it has the sharpest image?

I mainly take full body shots.

Attached to my camera.

I'm only half joking, this lens amazes me every time I use it. I haven't noticed a degradation at any focal length and the quality is excellent even when shooting wide open.

You could set it for F8 or try this link: http://www.slrgear.com …ct.php/product/​143/cat/11 (external link)
and click on the blur index. It should help identify the sweet spot, although your idea of the sweet spot might be different than other people.

f/4-5.6 and 60-70mm in my experience. It's good at all settings though, IMHO. And yes, it comes with a hood...assuming new and from a legit retailer.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)
