Very slow focus combined with very narrow depth of field equals out-of-focus photo

I ordered one of these babies, worried about the reviews saying that it had a soft focus

Sharp focus, buttery bokeh

It is true that using auto-focusing, sometimes the focus is not as precise as I do it with a maginfied live-view.

(I'd get TS-E 24mm II if that was the objective!)The focusing error with

Take 3-4 pictures on something static and see if the focus is consistent for each one or if it jumps between the 3-4 shots.

Very fast focus and good feel on my 7D.For anyone who loves

Combine that with fast focus and incredible

I wasn't missing focus (I know this because I also used Live View and it wasn't very good), it just wasn't sharp

IS II are fantastic with the 7D Mk II....fast, consistent focus and no drama

:) VERY SHARP edge to edge on my 40D and now my 7D, no problems with chromatic aberrations in the corners (when you stop it down beyond f4.0), full weather sealing (I installed a front filter as soon as I got this lens, you need to do that to ensure proper sealing), lens hood is included with this one, silent and smooth focus, accurate on both 40D and 7D, sometimes a bit too slow in dim lighting conditions (but no complaints on my part, to be expected), the lens has that 'pro' feel to it, AF/MF button works smoothly, and the MF ring is build to last, I feel that the lens is build better than my 40D and

This lens has very fast and accurate focus, and the images are incredibly sharp, even wide-open

This is not an issue that appears to be correctable with focus micro-adjust, because the focus is indeed sometimes perfectly accurate

We have a very nice copy of Canon's 17-55 f/2.8 for our 7D, but it falls down a bit in very low light (typically during the reception during first dance).

The video work I do often required a wide angle lens like this... so the f/1.4 does the trick

My other favorite prime lens is the 50mm f/1.4 which blurs things even more easily
