No, I am not. As CH as pointed out, the wide-angle zooms of many
manufacturers exhibit light-fall off and softness in the corners
when shot at larger apertures, not just Canon's. What I am saying is
that they are not "weak" lenses because of this. I'm also saying that
the problem on a 1Ds full frame sensor is more noticeable because
the 1Ds full frame digital sensor has more resolution than 35 mm
film. It is markedly less of a problem on a 1.3X or 1.6X sensor. My
point still holds, the Canon 70-200/2.8L, 300/2.8L and 500/4 L IS
rank amongst the best lenses anyone has made at any time.
