THis is just my experience and others are free to disagree...
But I really think that the OP's Canon + L zoom lenses is a perfect setup for shooting regular people, portraits etc. The L lenses are sharp enough but not "too sharp"...they have just about the right blend of sharpness and contrast to make for pleasing skintones (when combined with good lighting)
I would never use any of the high end DMF systems for shooting regular people unless working with a seriously good retoucher LOL. IT takes some serious retouching skills to deal with the sharpness and detail associated with the higher end DMF in combination with regular folk.
IT's really hard to make regular people look good...especially when there isn't the luxury of using great stylists and hair/makeup. I really think that DMF is just unforgiving for regular people. OF course, others may have a different experience....but that's mine. The last thing that regular people need is lenses that are too sharp and files with too much detail. IT's just not necessary, and can actually be a step backwards.
