Aren\'t the 70-200 2.8 IS and 200 2.8 comparable in terms of sharpness?
Perhaps stopped down, but certainly not wide open.
The prime 2.8 is pretty sharp wide open, but the (my) 70-200 needs to be stopped down until it gets close. But stopped down it will be difficult to see a difference with normal prints. I think the prime has a little more pop and corner to corner sharpness.
I\'m not a pixel peeper, but I wide open I thought the difference to be significance enough to warrant purchasing the prime.
