Re: 24-70 2.8 L vs. kit lens...unexpected results?

Advice will be taken, I'll shoot some wider apertures and come back to the thread.

I do mostly flash shooting so maybe, without fully realizing it, I've been producing nice and clean images all along with my kit lens.  Not to say I'm not loving the 24-70...been shooting tests fully opened up around the house and it's really nice.

thx d

Actually the 24-70 looks better to me in these tests... but why are you testing them at f11? Do you shoot at that aperture much? I wouldn't expect to see much difference here. As someone else suggested, try it at f4.5 (or whatever the 18-200 can go down to when it's at 70mm and you will see a huge difference.
