An unprocessed raw file (not sharpened, no noise reduction) that has been underexposed by at least 1 stop will look soft.

The download is a Canon CR3 raw file.
The first post it wasn't there, it went up after my post - read the whole thread before commenting.

Thanks jeep_daddy. Not a paying customer but that will not affect my efforts. I will try to do a reshoot. I read with interest the information you included. I read a portion of the manual pertaining to Electronic Shutter. A reason I purchased this camera was to be able to shoot Ballet performances in silence. I am returning the lens to Canon for repairs with my fingers crossed and hoping they find something wrong.

What happens when you take an image at a closer subject in brighter light? What happens with other lenses on the same body?

Thanks AzPicLady. I sent the lens to Canon. I should know Friday what if anything they find.

I hope you have better luck with them than I'm having!

I don't expect them to find anything wrong but at least I will have renewed confidence. I will use the camera tonight for a ballet performance with an 85 mm L series lens. I am keeping my fingers crossed. This is my only silent camera. I has worked well since those blurry pictures were taken.

Canon said they "... replace the rear element. That's what was causing bad focus." It has never been dropped so I don't understand why it failed. However I am somewhat relieved that they found something wrong. Thanks everyone who commented on my problem. I took some ballet and some college softball photos with prime lenses over the weekend. Those photos were tack sharp. It was a pleasure to use them and to zoom with my feet for a change. I do love the bokeh. I was tending to be a bit lazy with the 24-70. I should receive it tomorrow and will see if I notice a difference in its performance. Some 24-70 pictures were fairly sharp which was troubling because I didn't want to send off for repair a good lens. Thanks again for the replies.
