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

Re: Any more takers?

My experience with the 24-70II does not match yours, but I don't have any controlled test photos to show, either.

When I first got the lens I did some test shots and saw a small amount of field curvature at 24mm f/2.8 at close to infinity (about a mile). But it went away with more DOF.

In practice, I haven't noticed any problems at all at the edges. Sure edges degrade some, but not nearly as bad as other lenses I've had. Perfection is only a relative term.

Perhaps you can show us some of the pictures you are disappointed with?
