So much dust inside your lens ;D

Nice PP...I like it

 

[jVillaPhoto]

Thank you Dylan! Maybe I should send it to Canon for a cleaning? ;D

Just put some talkum inside the lens mount and blow it away with a hot fan. It will rip the dust particles away with it Worked like a charm for me.

 

[drolo61]

are you serious about the talkum & fan suggestion? how should that work to get dust out from inbetween the lens groups???

I just made a purchase for this lens on B&H! Took advantage of the holidays price drop and the canon rebate they had on there, it was too good to turn down. Can wait to pair this lens with my 5D Mark III.

Read so many reviews on its back focus issue and its "not so sharp imagery". Cant wait to see for my own eyes.

Welcome to CR TNguyen and Congrats on your 50L II

The 50L is an AWESOME lens. AFMA is almost required. Most of the complaints were due to older cameras. With 5D III adv. af points, it does help alot. Once AFMA is properly made, this lens brings "WOW" factor to your photography.

Nice shots and welcome to the club! I think all of us were hesitant about buying this lens based on the bad wrap it has on the web, but as your photos along with the others' show, it's just a matter of knowing how to use this lens and using it for the right purposes.
