It appears to me on my low resolution TV that the EF 200 f2.8L is far
superior to the 70-200 f4L at 200mm, which, from what I have read is
supposed to be the sharpest of the 70-200 EF zooms, yet I have read
several statements that the 70-200 L series lenses are as sharp as
primes. I reckon a person should be careful what they believe.

Not saying I disagree- I don't- but don't you think a test at the same
f/stop would have been more fair?

I forgot to mention that I did not do this test myself, and yes I agree
with you that it would have been more fair to do the test with the
lenses at the same aperture, but don't the zoom being shot at closer to
f8 give the zoom the advantage?

Cody,


How so? That puts both lenses at their best (in most cases).
Let the best lens win!?
