I placed an order for a 24-70L yesterday! Should be here by Wednesday!!! Wooohoooo!
Anyway - I was curious if there is any specific approach you all take to making sure you didn't get a lemon when you buy a new lens. Do you shoot certain things (like you see on review sites) to check for CA, focusing issues, etc? Or do you just shoot and evaluate the images as you go? I don't exactly have an expertly-trained eye yet, and I don't want to drop this kind of money on L-glass and find out a year from now it was a bad apple, but I just didn't have the knowledge of what to look for at the time.
What are the things that would typically be "off" on a lens like this?
Thanks...
