Great job, Chester!

Thank you sir!

silly question, but is the 200/2.0 @ 2.0 sharper than the 100L @ 2.8?
hope that makes sense
just curious!

I think the 70-200/2.8 IS II is sharper than the 100 at 100.

I hope that makes no sense.

Back to something that makes sense. The 100L Macro will never outdo the 200/2 because of the focal length and opening. The Macro can never ever offer the same subject/background seperation like the 200/2.

How would you propose going about testing the two for comparison?

Hello all

Remember the 5D3 launch issue with the abnormally strong clicking noise of the 200mm 2.0 ? This lead to a recall of some lenses for the 5D3 :

http://www.usa.canon.c​om …il&docId=0901e0​2480532d6b

Well I could not find mention about the 1Dx being affected too, but I can say it is.

I just switched from 1D4 to 1Dx and had the surprise to see my 200mm (code ending in 01) is also affected. The clicking is very clear & strong and this is exactly the malfunction described for the 5D3.

I'm talking with Canon Japan, they have a hard time reconizing the issue and claim I should come over and pay for repairs since this "affects only 5D3" ... no way obviously, I'll push to get proper service

Anyway if you have a lens in the affected serial range, just get it fixed !

thanks for the info ... though i'll never get a 1Dx, the info that it affects other bodies is helpful. i wonder if the 6D is affected as well. (our local canon still has no way of fixing the 200 issue)
