I saw you left the 135 out, I guess that edges out the 70-200 in sharpness? And is the 200 2.8 really that bad? I figured it would be pretty damn sharp.
In the center, they're similar - but away from the center, the 70-200 II wins, and the same is true for the 135L and 200/2.8L. The 70-200 II is simply an exceptionally good zoom lens, quite possibly the best zoom lens available. It's certainly possible that an updated 135L would be even better, with a tweaked design and the newset coatings. But really, the reason I use my 85L and 135L is for the faster aperture, not better IQ.
