^^ yes and no..easy fix is just to slap on a solid ND filter

The noise free clarity makes you want to cry. Finally!

And like stated above: for those serious about controlling aperture it won't be a problem with filters and such.

Of course, it's still a shame that it isn't built in.

Problem with ND filters is that since the 5DmII automatically selects ISO, shutter speed and then aperture, you'll end up with high ISO and slow shutter speed neither of which you need for daytime.

I think the better solution would be using the trick that's on the web to hit the DoF preview and breaking the lens contacts with a bit of plastic.

Very sharp, nice & natural depth to the image. The work of an L-Series lens!
