Bokeh, focus, and build quality aside, what is the absolute sharpest lens/aperture combo on a crop body Canon camera?

Is it 50mm 1.8 II at 4.5?

First of all ... it is certainly not the 50/1.8 (regardless at what aperture).



Second ... the question is relatively irrelevant, since the answer bears no

vissible effect on the resulting images. Quite a number of lenses (including

the 50/1.8) are capable to produce extremly sharp images. What makes an

image really good, however, is more that just the sharpness ... Bokeh,

contrast, flareresistance are at least as important to the result as the sharpness

itself is.



The question for maximum sharpenss is one that beginners often come up with

in order to find out what lens to buy to get good images. But this is really mounting

the horse from the wrong end.



Just my 2cts ... Rainer
