I have to admit I was doing the same thing before, take lens out take pictures of random stuff inside my room. It's really a useless test since it isn't controlled. Visit my flickr

In your second image, you are OOF on the bottom left side of the can, but at 2.8, that can happen depending on your focus point. I think your first one is spot on so stop pixel peeping and go out there and shoot some real subjects!! Just get out there in the daylight and shoot something worth while. Only then will you find out how sharp this lens can actually be!! Most of all, enjoy it!! You have one of the best all around lenses that Canon makes!!!

Some people in this forum has had 554545 copies and none of them were sharp so it must mean this lens is just soft. You better send it in and get a 17-55 IS or 24-105 IS instead They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard! - Fallout New Vegas

A new 50mm f/1.8 is worth two new PS3 games. 10 new PS3 games will buy you a 70-200mm f/4. Most people take 1-2 years to acquire that many games. PS3 games are definitely expensive! Fortunately, 3 of them were gifts and some I bought used/traded. but i never thought of my game collection to be big as i've seen some people with 2x or 3x as many games, for EACH console!
