IQ seems about there on both lenses. the quality of the 135L is just amazing.

The 5D does L lenses justice, I never achieved these results with the 1D or 10D.

There was no post-processing at all, factor setting on the 5D.

The 5D was money well spent.:lol:

useful comparison, thanks.

so would you buy the 200 again, knowing these results?

For football and soccer the 200L + 1.4xII is very good, and with 3 bodies and a wife and a 19 year old son, we use all the gear.

I'm the gearhead of the family:)

wow, that's must be tons of photos from a game. 3 cameras w/ a total of like 16 fps?

you're making me want a 5D all the more over the 30D replacement. :confused:
