What it all boils down to is this.

I am currently going through a wedding I shot last week and everytime I get to a picture taken with either my 70-200 f2.8 or my 85mm prime I get this awful pain, kind of like needles stabbing me in the eyes. I have now decided that the images taken with these lenses are just far too sharp and thus should be sold with a warning on the box.. anyone else experienced this with these lenses?

:)

It wouldn't benefit your lawsuit to keep using the two prime lenses so I will volunteer to hold onto them for you for a really long time ;)

If we sue them, can we buy new really sharp glass with the money?

I have the 70-200 F4L and the 85 1.8. I am constantly amazed at the sharpness of these 2 lenses.

The 17-40 F4L is no slouch either.

I'm gonna sue you for being too sexy... you hurt my ego :-P

I think I will sue Canon due to "Spinner syndrome"

Defined as: Putting 4x the money into accessories than the body cost.
at least my wheels keep turning while I'm sitting still.>

I look forward to receiving details. My fees are very reasonable.

I would reply to this but my 70-200 f2.8 IS USM has taken both my eyes out.

Little bit impressed with that lens, not bad at all.

I say Class action suit......I have both of those lenses and agree, wicked.

Wanted to add that my lawsuit will be naming the Canon EF 100mm f|2.8 also, great for portraits. Sexy sharp.

Some reviews I read about that one said it was almost too sharp for portraits ;-)

Raises hand, I'm also getting unrealistic results with my new (Yeah baby) 100-400mm L beast. Can I join... There is far too much detail on the 400mm end to be legal.

Yup, I usually have to soften the results from the camera. It's painful for most subjects, even without any sharpening and even with a hard AA filter in cameras.

With my lenses, I couldn't even enter the soft focus III challenge, I tried, but all were too sharp.
