Canon EOS 5D, 24-105/f4L@70mm, Point C

f4 f5.6 f8 f11 f16 f22

Center sharpness of the 24-105/f4L is outstanding, with essentially no improvement as the lens is stopped down.   Sharpness does decline at f22 due to diffraction.

Center sharpness of the 24-105/f4L is outstanding, with essentially no improvement as the lens is stopped down.   Sharpness does decline beginning at f16 and increasing at f22 due to diffraction.

Stopping all the way down to f22 is required to make Point B2 sharpen up reasonably well.
