Yeah, ok, Al. You are, after all, one and the same fellow who faulted another member's majestic image of a bridge taken with the 35IS for lacking the depth of the 35L. It seems to me that you are one of those for whom the determation of whether an image is good or worthy of your admiration hangs on whether it's got thin DoF or it was taken with an L lens. As I said on that other thread, "Al, give us a break."

On your beloved 35L (a lens i owned, sold and then eschewed in favor of the 35IS) two of those images would have been blotchier and grainier for they were at ISO2500 after 3 stops of IS at 1/5 shutter speed. The 35L would have returned ISO10000 images.

Now, if you wish to continue along your line of thinking, i invite you to post images taken with the 35L at f/2 or slower that in your estimation cannot be obtained with the 35IS. Show us your images, Al.
