Good point. However, if you are using Lightroom 4, there is a box in the Develop module that you can check off for automatic CA removel. How well it works I don't know but if you have LR-4 it's worth checking out this feature, as this may solve the CA problem.

Thanks everyone! I usually prefer the 70-200 when I'm back lighting especially because I don't have problems with chromatic aberration with that lens. When you are shooting an area of high contrast (back lit hair next to a darker background for example) you will definitely get the CA with the 85L unless you close down significantly. When you do that, you really lose that great bokeh the lens is otherwise capable of. In that case, I'd choose the 70-200L because I can still shoot wide open at 200mm (granted, I'm a football field away from my subject but that isn't always bad) without getting any CA in my images....Show more →

I would never do that. Both the 85L and 70-200L II are awesome lenses. The 200/2L is freaking expensive ... plus it's very heavy and uncomfortable to shoot with for any extended period of time. I would consider adding the 135L if you shoot mostly portraits outdoors.

Sell your 85L and 70-200 and pick up a used 200/2 (and maybe an 85/1.8). You won't miss either lens after using the 200/2.

I've tried LR4 CA removal and it did a nice job. It's worth a try.

Lovely work as always Lisa. Do you use any form of light modifiers at all for any of these shots, i.e reflectors or are these all straight natural light only?

70-200/2.8L IS ver I: $1400
85L II: $2050
135L: $1000
Total: $4450
200/2L IS used $5300
85/1.8 new $390
Total: $5690
Difference in cost: $1240
If that 70-200 is a ver II, the difference in cost is $340. For $340 you gain the uniqueness of a 200/2 and have pretty much the same focal range coverage

Oh no, I'm a lens hoarder. I couldn't part with any of my lenses. It would have to join the family as is. We shall see. I do need a good write off this year.

Hi Lisa,
I'm discovering this topic somewhat late, but I just received a 85L on loan and I'm eager to learn how you post processed these images. Specifically what application did you use (assuming LR3, that I read from your post) and how you handled sharpening.

Was that really necessary? Sounds like someone has an issue with a bit of entrepreneurship.
ETA I have no problem helping people with specific issues RE editing or whatever, but no, I won't divulge my full editing process online in a free-for-all.
