You are giving me quite a lesson and I'm thankful. The 35mmL is a very sharp lens. I can't imagine how sharp the 100mm macro is (would love to see some shots with that lens).
What camera and photo gear do you use?

I process with Affinity, which is a very nice option if anyone is looking into software options.
Cheers!

How does Affinity compare to Lightroom?
I'm sure you are being modest. We can all learn from one another.
I don't want to give a comparison, but only because I didn't give Lightroom a fair shake on a Mac platform. I only used LR on a trial, and didn't find it very intuitive. I used a few CS versions prior, and found affinity covered all the bases I used in post at a price that made more sense for me.
Sony DSC-H300 and that's it right now. Also use clay to model my muses out of most of the time.
Canon EOS Rebel T6i DSLR and EOS Rebel T2 35mm SLR. Those are the bodies I use. I do, of course, have a range of lenses I use, including the Sigma 50mm Art Lens. I'm looking to raise money for the EOS Rebel T7i Video Creator Kit, which will allow me to upgrade my DSLR body, and use my T6i as my backup DSLR.

Outstanding group of glass! I have a 24-105 f4 L on the way. Its focal length range will be nearly perfect for the family get together photos.
It's a fantastic and sharp lens. You'll cherish it for years. Is the mark ii the new version?
Thank you
I ended up getting a second hand version of the first release, but yes the Mk II is the new release. I've not thoroughly rung it out but have been taking some informal images here and there. This focal length range is probably the most useful to me, particularly for family gatherings. My "dream lens" would be something like a 17-85mm f4 but I don't believe they make anything as such in the L series. I can see this lens being in use the vast majority of the time!
I've read reviews of the new mark ii, it's heavier and not that much sharper. So I'm holding on to my copy 
Look up a youtube video comparing the new lens with the first version by christopher frost photography. He does honest reviews without prejudice or leaning to the
Enjoy your lens!
