anyone who doesn't think this is killer sharp is an L-worshipping slave and can't see past their own L-superiority complex.

Beware of false prophets and, at your age and with an impressionable nature, other 'false' things that might be attractive to a young man

Real things are the only way to go, LOL. (Do we really want to have this discussion in a thread? If you want to pm me, I'de be glad to talk about things of this matter .)

Ahh thats much better , see this shot with the 70-200L is much clearer than the pooch shot with the 17-55 non L

Probably a 135mm f/2 tripoded, MLU, stopped to around f/8..... try that?

Yeah, good thing you are talking about that dagger-like bill and not the IQ of the image.

haha, I was practicing handheld panning. Was going to the racetrack in a couple days and thought I sure could use some practice first. You've got a keen eye to notice that.

Saw you coming before you even decided to come over.
Well, we both know it's plenty sharp, but that particular series of images goes waaay beyond mere sharp IMO.....however, as you know, these sorta issues cause discussions....

Well these seem to be acceptably sharp

200mm f1.8 at f2.0 83k

135mm f2.0 at f4.0 98k

100% center crop of the above image 106k
