Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM: Experience Report: Part 1

Bought a new lens this weekend: the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM. This is my first L lens priced over a thousand dollars, so for sure it is a fairly big buy for me. It also filled the gap in my lens line-up between 40 and 70 (which are currently served by either 17-40 and 70-200). Based on the results taken today around Brooklyn Bridge, it looks like that it has made its cut to become my new walk-around lens.

Thanks for the shots. I've got a D30, and have been wondering if I should get the 24-70 or the new 5D MkII. I sure can't get both. I'm leaning heavily towards getting the better glass, which should last a lifetime, and wait for full-frames to come down in price. You're helping me think that's the better approach.
