    I am intrigued by the 200-800 as well ..... don't especially like the external zoom but the images I have seen so far look quite sharp. Not too worried about the f stop because cameras handle high ISO so well now and the noise reduction apps are incredible too.

    A few MTF comparisons, taken from canon japan.

    Another interesting point: 24-105 f/2.8 - 11 aperture blades; EF 24-70 II and RF 24-70 - 9.

    The bokeh and rendering I am seeing from that lens is stellar. Some features are complete overkill for me, but....I use an EF 500 II to take photos of birds in my backyard...so, you know, par for the course.

    So, I know Canon changed their MTF process a few years ago, given that these do not have f/8, as the old MTFs did and they were taken directly off Canon-Japan's website, I think they are current. But, I am surprised that the 100-400 II the blue line at 400 mm (30 lp/mm) is higher than the 100-500.
