...yes, sorry, forgot to say I was using the 50mm.
Though sharpish lenses, I believe they pale into mediocrity beside some standard Nifty-Fifties of yesteryear; and Canon have the cheek to get you to pay for "pro" L-glass in order to approach this now.
The reason I say this is because I just do not trust this lens with f22: have a look at this one at f11...see how much detail there is compared to the earlier f22-ish shots.
i was able to use the more friendly aperture by being far enough away from the beeches: the trees are over 200f eet high and on an incline...or else I'd have been stuffed.
