OT:

comment lang ko mga sirs.

It would probably help people and potential lens buyer (in this case carpe_diem) to show him sample shots using specified lens on different aperture and focal length instead of a simple "okay na", "nindot na", "payter na lens!", etc. type of reply.

Based on experienced before purchasing a lens, I usually ask this type of question on different forums and the usual response is that they provide me with some shots (unedited/unprocessed) taken with that lens at different aperture and focal lengths. Some will go even further to discuss about the lens sharpness, bokeh, CA, barrel distortion, purple fringe, etc... A few will even provide "pixel peep" based results.

This type of response would be very informative for the potential lens buyer and I believe is much better than saying "payter na sya na lens!"

End OT. thanks.

24-70 is a great lens... L lenses of canon are the high end na gud.. no question in quality... about the IS issue.. no problem crank the shutter and jack up the iso.. it's a 2.8... i hear it's better on a full frame body

that's my first L lens na hangtod karon murag gi glue na sa dslr body(i dont know if maabot ako 50L prime,basin its time for him to rest napud)...honestly, it is very sharp and it delivers great bokeh too...,its a great all-around lens...dont worry with non-IS, as what pchan says, you can play with the shutter speed...

you get what you paid for, worth every penny...

cons: it's only the weight,quite heavy...pero ma-anad raka

i'll just share you some sample pics, im not an expert, just a hobbyist
both pics shot with no flash fired,no tripod(handheld),etc...just simply 24-70L and the body,but with a little PP..
