24-70mm Canon - 5D Mark II - 24fps- firmware 2.0.4

Was just doing some quick testing around the house with my 5D Mark II with 24fps. This is using the firmware 2.0.4. I used the Canon 24-70mm 2.8L for this video. All shot wide open at f2.8

nice job. have you done much handheld shooting with the 24-70mm? what has your experience been? i've shot with it before and love love love the IQ but i sometimes have to shoot handheld and its lack of IS definitely mars the shot. thinking of going to 17-55 F2.8 which has IS...

@bkonyctube Yeah, it's not easy getting smooth shots when filming by hand...

[RyanTheTuber]

Ridiculously sharp...

[TimsThoughts]

@RyanTheTuber It is a sharp lens, I enjoy working with the lens. It's a good all rounder for my needs at this stage.

All indoor are on a tripod except the last footage with the dog (it is hand held, right)?

[TimsThoughts]

@pn3r That is correct :-)

@RyanTheTuber Notoriously soft? The 35mm f/1.4 and the 135mm f/2 are widely known as some of Canon's sharpest lenses, period. But I guess you may have been referring to the 85 and the 50, and yeah it can be tricky focusing if you're shooting wide open, but at f/2 those lenses really shine. The 24-70 is great, I've had 2 different copies of it, but in the end the only zoom I ended up keeping was the 16-35 II. But I'll admit, there are times that I wish I had the 24-70 for the convenience

@rsmith1240 In terms of sharpness... I would be doubtful it's not as sharp as the two f/1.2's. Those lenses, as I've heard, are notoriously soft; Getting the right focus is a pain in the butt.

[rsmith1240]

@RyanTheTuber Yeah it's pretty sharp for a zoom, but nothing compared to their primes (35 1.4, 50 1.2, 85 1.2, 135 f/2).
