Canon 100mm Macro L samples wanted

[LongLensPhotography]

I am getting tempted by the new Macro L IS lens. I already have non-L, but IS, L contrast and colours, as well as extra sharpness towards infinity wide open would really help shooting events and portraits. (I want 135mm L IQ with macro in 100mm package).

Please tell me if the improvements are noticeable in these 3 areas.

I would really love to see some original size samples or crops from 100L.
It should be at f/2.8 and taken at 3m or longer focusing distance. Minimal sharpening only please.

Something like this would be interesting:

Thanks. Not many full size f/2.8 samples there unfortunately...

Does nobody have this lens here?

I had that lens, but no f/2.8 full size samples. I have some f/8 portraits though.

I have the 100mm Macro (non IS) and it is an incredibly sharp lens at ALL apertures and all distances.

You certainly won't regret buying the IS version at all.

Have a look over here :

166 pages long so there should be at least one full length portrait at f2.8...

Shot raw and with sharpening at LR defaults....

I do, but I don't have any shots that meet your requirements.

Ditto.

I actually just got the lens (and the camera) last week.

Have you tried flickr? There's a whole group dedicated to this lens, with thousands of photos.
