Couple days ago I decided to make purchase of Canon 35mm f/2 IS through canon's refurb website (was thinking about 35mm F/1.4 but couldn't justify it since I shoot as a hobby) I am not sure how much detail I should expect in this lens, it was taken indoors with only natural light, 1/125 sec, f/2.8 ISO 1000 with IS off, taken on 7D mk ii body. The only edit I did was raised the exposure in lightroom and slight increase in vibrance. Any thoughts if this is a good copy or bad? thanks in advance!

Too many technical problems to draw any conclusion about this particular copy of the lens. The image should be WAY sharper, but the reasons for the lack of sharpness almost certainly have to do with photographer/and or subject motion that lost focus or that introduced motion blur. Test with a more distant subject, outdoors, higher shutter speed, IS on, tripod if you can.
