70-300L SAMPLE SHOTS RECOVERED!!!

Fellow POTN Members:

For those of you who have been following my saga over at the 70-300L thread thanks for all the patience. For those who dont know here is a quick run down:

I tested the lens out at the canon expo here in NYC on friday. I was told to delete all images on site. Which i did. On POTN i was pointed to some recovery software. Two programs recovered all the jpegs I had shot in the last month but no RAW files (the shots i took were in RAW). 24 hours later and after 16 HOURS AND 48 MINUTES OF WORK, Recover My Files Software did its magic. It recovered all the RAW files i shot. Needless to say this will be my recovery program going forward

This took a lot of work and effort to do but i was glad to take on the challenge for this great forum. Remember THIS IS A PROTOTYPE of a lens. THESE ARE STRAIGHT FROM TIFF TO JPEG CONVERSATIONS. ALL SHOTS OFF THE CANON 1D IV, AUTO ISO, Aperture Priority Mode (IN ORDER TO FIND THE MAX F-STOPS AT THE DIFFERENT LENGTHS). Nothing has been modified beyond the conversation.

Here is the link to my Flickr which has the Full Sizes and other shots from the lens:

They look like regular photos...

Are the flickr images crops or resized? Flickr shows 1024xsomething as the largest resolution. :-/

The ones posted on this site are re-sized. For the original size you have to follow my link into my flickr account. Here is the link to the original size for the first image:

Largest image size shown is "Large (1024 x 683)"

Tri it now. Made some setting changes in Flickr.

Works now, thanks.

100% crops please!

Maybe you had no other choice than to shoot a flatscreen TV but it's hard to gauge sharpness that way.

He has a stray hair on his forehead

Are those fstops when it first hits the number? It does not hit 5.6 until 300mm?
