Above were shot at f1.2 and it IS sharp. I shot this through tempered glass handheld.
Is the 50L problematic on the 5D III when focussing? I read a lot about the focus shift on this lens.
Snoweagle said:I think it also depends on your copy of the 50L. So far so gd on mine even after a few years of usage.
Brother one quick question. Do you think the optical performance of L lenses deteriorate after the usage of a few years? Any optical shift noticed due to the poor construction? Dust accumulation and fungal growth are exceptions. What I heard is that with proper care, these glasses can perform at the same level for as many years as 10. Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

He brought it back to Canon to recalibrate. Of course we'll never know unless a uniform, well controlled test is performed over several years.
I can't help but think that all lenses are subject to eventual front/back focusing issues over an extended period of use. I also think that the moving parts of the lens including the "IS" mechanism is subject to wear and tear.
Given enough time (whether through use or dis-use), all systems must break down. This has been attested in a documentary which showed if man were suddenly wiped out, everything that he has created including large structures like buildings and transportation infrastructures (bridges, tunnels, etc.) would break down sooner than most of us would think.
