Pretty much. I did bump contrast and the saturation a bit in Aperture to match the Canon output. No sharpening was done.


I put off purchasing this lens for so long, since I had the 70-200 2.8 IS. But I really don't like the feel of the 70-200. It is just uncomfortable for me to shoot with. So I just pretty much tried to shoot everything with my 24-70 but for portraits I'd have a distance I like to be but at 70 I found myself creeping in so I figured it was time for the 85. I'm pretty sure I can use this for indoor sports too. It focus short distance fairly quickly and once it locks on in servo it tracks really well.
