Wow - this lens is sharp!
The crop of the eye is NOT a macro shot . It's a small crop from the photo next to it.
I can see my reflection in the pupil - awesome lens!

nice, but did you apply sharpening to it later, or is it straight out of the camera?
Hi James,
I did apply a small amount of sharpening in CaptureOne however I am impressed with the amount of detail the lens and camera sensor can capture. It's awesome!
Your equipment list is very impressive - am green with envy over those lenses!
that's fair... it is a nice lens with a nicer range. though i find when at 24mm or 105mm it's not at it's best... but the IS does come in handy sometimes.
my collection has been a fair while in the making now... sold a lot of lenses too...
you're free to give some of my lenses a try if you come to a melbourne night meet
You know I looked at the first image and thought it was a little soft, but that second shot is incredible. Makes me want to buy the 24-105 sooner, it's on my wish list along with a 100-400L. *sigh*
Nice reflection too, CSI would solve crimes with images like that!
Thanks James. When is the next Melbourne night meet?
Look here!

Next week!
what etherial said
just a small group of us, like last time. ended up being a good night.
looking forward to this one.
so come along if you can.
After all the worry I had about changing to Canon I now love my one camera, one lens set up in the 5D2/24-105. It's all I want and need. The files are so large and good it becomes a "macro" by cropping in the puter; same goes for when I need a bit longer lens, I just crop in the puter. No need for a bag of gear, and there is no dust on the sensor problems because the lens is never removed.
It's also magic for aerial photography; I just framed a 20 x 24" photo that was cropped to less then 1/2 the original file!!
I can do all my photography with this camera/lens combo, so don't me ask why I just bought 70-200 f4!! That really mucked up the no dust idea

I heard 24-107 is actually sharper than 24-70...
