Hello everyone,
So I love my 135L f2 for its bokeh, colors and sharpness, but since I bought the lens last summer I always got soft results when my subject is further away. I don't really want to fine tune the lens with AFMA because then it is not calibrated right for closer portraits which I mostly use the lens at. And it is weird because if I focus on a bigger subject at a far distance it is tack sharp, it really only happens when I focus on people that are very small in the frame. I have an example below (shot from 30-40 meters away, used one of the cross type points of my 5D III.
See here the plane of focus is a couple meters in front of the people
Mines not great in similar ways. I've already sent a camera and transmitter to Canon and never got the transmitter back yet (7 weeks ago!). I'm not bothering sending this in the mail too,lots if my Canon stuff is off frankly.
