Taken with the sharpest lens on this site :-)

it's no better than the 100mm 2.8 USM according to photozone .... and all the 300 and 400 2.8 L's are sharper, but no one on this site owns them.

so your almost right

Used 200 mm f2.8 L lens at f5.

BTW Canon 100 USM is no comparison to 200 mm L !

There is no photoshop effect here,just water flowing .

According to PhotoDo:

Grade: 4.1 35mm/AF Canon EF 200/2,8L II

Making it nowhere near the sharpest lens.

And if we're comparing it to other lenses. The 50mm/1.8 mkII gets a grade of 4.2, making it sharper, and only $80.

I wouldn't speak so soon I believe Dadas115 has them all!

Arnit has them TOO !

The 200/2.8 L is by most accounts possibly just a hair sharper than the 100 macro. the 200/2.8 II is not as sharp, but it's no slouch either! I'd guess that it would be very difficult indeed to tell them apart. Either of the 200s prolly suffer less from flare, but that's taken care of by the hood on the 100.
FWIW, by nearly all accounts the sharpest Canon prime was the 200/1.8 L, which goes *used* for between $3.5k and $4k USD today.

What are people using to compare the sharpness of Canon lenses? I used to put a lot of faith in a page titled Lens Test Guide on the Photozone site. They have renovated the site and I can't find it anymore.
