I own & use the following Canon Lenses;
14f/2.8L II, 15f/2.8, 35f/1.4L, 50f/1.2L, 85f/1.2L II, 100f/2.8L IS, 135f/2L, 200f/2L, 300f/2.8L II, 400f/2.8L II, 600f/4L II.
8-15f/4 L, 26-35f/2.8L II, 24-70f/2.8L II, 70-200f/2.8L II.
17f/4 TSE II, 24/f3.5 TSE II
The sharpest without doubt in my own use is the 300f/2.8L Version II, simply an amazing Lens.
The 100f/2.8L IS Macro would be next, I use it mainly for Underwater use in a Seacam Housing, but this is a sharp sharp Lens.
85f/1.2 L II is damn good, but the slow focus system takes some patience, although I've noticed now on my 1Dx it is much faster on the focus, even more so than on the 5DMK3.
The 600 & 400 Version II Lenses are great.
Zooms ?? The 24-70 is good, the 70-200 is very good, the 16-35 is So So, the 8-15 @ 15 is really good. You are not going to get the best sharpness from a Zoom when compared to a Prime, but there are benefits of course so it's a trade off.
The 17 & 24 TSE are exceptionally sharp, but they come with a learning curve that most wouldn't want to work on, they are rewarding though in the right situation.
