UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

Over the past weekend I attended a fashion photography workshop which was hosted by Canon South Africa. I got to shoot with a 5Ds, a DSLR I am seriously considering buying depending on how the 5D-IV will be spec'ed. I found this a good opportunity to put a few lenses under the cosh.
My primary concern was doing some sort of real world comparison between the EF 135mm f/2 L USM and the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. I'm not concerned with ultimate sharpness with these images. I got the 5Ds at the event, so had no time to do AFMA. I found both lenses front-focused slightly, which could easily be corrected with AFMA if this was my camera. I also know from test charts that both are excellent when properly focused.
Technical stuff:
The 70-200mm shot was with IS mode 1 and reportedly taken at 190mm f/2.8
The 135mm image was taken at f/2 (scaled for same subject size as the 70-200 shot)
Shutter speed was 1/160s for both images and camera was in auto ISO.
So, which image do you think is rendered better?
