Assuming, being adept in the photo-merging aspect in PS CC and being anal retentive regarding IQ at 200%...
is there any lens that surpasses the 300mm f/2.8, if price is no object?

airfrogusmc I'm a chimper. There I said it... More info | Dec 14, 2016 18:40 | #3 I think there are 3 Canon lenses that are pretty close if you go by the charts. 200 2L, 300 2.8L and 400 2.8L.

Sort of like the forest for the trees here. I took your point. The question was just using your post to question the OP's judging IQ at 200%. IMHO, there is no IQ at 200% only pixelated (mis)interpretation.

JeffreyG "my bits and pieces are all hard"  More info | Dec 14, 2016 20:41 | #8 I like to pick out just one pixel and zoom in to look at that. Usually something green, but I do mix it up a bit. My personal stuff:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jngirbach/sets/

Leica has some freak'n crazy good glass. There 50 Summicron APO some argue is the best 50 you can buy. I can tell you that the 35 1.4 Summilux FLE is the finest 35mm lens I have ever shot with and I've shot with quite a few. The 50 .95 Noctilux has some of the best Bokeh I have seen and I have shot with all three of the Canon lenses I earlier mentioned and owned the 200 2L. Well,. good to see we've all had some fun, what with Chauncey's declaration that he is "anal retentive regarding IQ at 200%", but still his question remains, and Alan had a shot with non-Canon lenses...any others?

I don't typically view at 200%, but I do view at 100%, using that as a "gauge" for not just overall image quality but for a view of how a pic will look either with a close crop or a large print! A 200% view may seem extreme, unless you actually are looking for the fine "stuff"!
