Now I know it'll never beat L quality but after using it continually over the past few days on my 1DS MkIII, I was pleasantly surprised as to how sharp it actually is - as good as but not better than my 24-105L as similar settings. At F/8 it is equally as sharp as the 24-105 and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone and a plus is the metal mount not the cheap plastic one on the MkII this lens replaces.

Maybe you have a very good copy of the 24-105. In my experience the 50STM kicks the crap out of the 24-105 at any aperture from F4 on down.
