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. ------------------------------------------------------------

My 50mm 1.8 impresses me every time with incredible sharpness when shooting at f/2.8. However, the 70-200 IS II often disappoints at the same aperture, even at f/4 I can notice that the 50mm is quite sharper when doing close up portraits.
I prefer the colors and the bokeh of the 70-200mm, but can't get that tack sharp effect I'm used to with the 50mm. To be honest, it's only noticeable when zooming 1:1 in a decent monitor, so for 99% of the cases it will be the same thing, but it bugs me since this lens cost me over 15 times more than the 50mm.
Is the 50mm really sharper, or am I doing something wrong when using the 70-200?
