Re: Consensus on 24-70/2.8 II field curvature at infinity focus?

I purchased my lens in a shop where they let me test it on the 5D3 I purchased at the same time. I was able to at least detemine that it focused quickly and quietly and no strange noises or slop in the focus or zoom ring existed.

I insisted on at least this test since the 5D2 with 24-105 arrived with the dreaded err01 issue. It had to be replaced. Since then I have shot thousands of images and after pixel peeping my landscapes and comparing them to the ones I took with the 24-105 can report that this lens is extremely sharp right across the frame at infinity focus.

I think you should try your lens on another body.
