Re: very first impressions

while you haven't mentioned what camera you tested your lens on, i have gotten great result using my 17-40 f4 lens on my aps-c camera. i never bought this good copy/bad copy analogy bs. i have never had a bad copy of 16 "L" lenses right out of the box

I'll have to get you to buy my lenses from now on - most have been fine, my 2nd 24-105 was better than my first and i went through 7 (s e v e n... wtf) 24-70mk2 lenses to get a great one (2 had soft sides, 1 halinated at close focus, 2 was soft in the corners on a tripod using liveview in a store, one was a loner from canon that i couldn't buy and then finally a perfect copy
I'm also not quite convinced on my 70-200 f4L IS - it's very good and highly useful, but maybe the hype had me expecting perfection.
