Forgive me - I went on a major :+fav:-raid in your gallery today. As you know, I use the same lens as you and I am continually amazed by how sharp your copy seems to be. Mine is completely inconsistent and it's been back to Canon three times now with no improvement. I have to have it stopped down to f8 for best results!
Anyway - you have a wonderful gallery!

:-)
