My wife and I are a photography team and we have rented the 24-70mm 2.8 II a total of 3 times and the images are always blurry. They are no where near as sharp as any other lens we own or rent. Does anyone else have this issue? Or have we just rented the same bad lens 3 times?

Maybe that rental 24-70 f/2.8L II has been banged around and isn't as sharp as it should be. My 24-70 f/2.8L II is incredibly sharp and resistant to flare even wide open--more so than most fixed focal length lenses.

Since you are a photo team, I'm pretty sure you know camera handling and whatnot, so I'm figuring you are renting a bum lens.
