Seems like the focus is a hair front focused. Her chest and right elbow are very sharp but her face is a tad soft. 5DII | 17-40L | 35L | 85L II | 50 1.8 | 430EX | flickr

But who pay's that much for a lens to use it at f/2 when it's much cheaper counterpart is fully functional at f/2? 5DII | 17-40L | 35L | 85L II | 50 1.8 | 430EX | flickr

Here's a couple shots to demonstrate that it's a capable lens at any aperture and to not be afraid of losing bokeh because you've stopped it down a bit.  f/2.5  f/3.5

I don't care for fact that she's wearing hose though. I don't think the hose would be that big of a deal except I can see a very distinct line on her upper leg that I find a little distracting. Other than that another great shot Alejandro!!! -Daniel

All kidding aside, I've been told it's sweet spot is stopped down to around f/2 but I haven't tried it too much for myself. Still shooting almost everything at f/1.2 and f/1.4. Once that whole shallow DoF kick is over, I'll be sure to give it a few shots at f/2.
