Bought this zoom as 2nd hand

Similar experience with a 24-70 f/2.8 Mk ii where the pics were also very disappointing

Many of us would like to see your "very disappointing" pics because my 24-70mm f2.8 II is having no trouble next to the primes I shoot with in basketball.

I have had 3 24-70 f/2.8 II and one of them was not really stellar as the two other. Canon calibrated it but it only improved marginally.
