Interested in determining if 7D2 might be useful to me at times but not entirely sure that even my best primes will deliver enough resolution.
    I am not aware of a site that does what you are looking for. As Joel mentions, lensrentals has apparatus to evaluate lenses that are not attached to camera bodies. But they only provide data here or there. Lenscore evaluates lenses on a custom made 200 MP body. But neither present their data as LP/mm. Lenstip does, and often evaluate resolution on a FF and crop sensor bodies. So that might be close.

    But, honestly, I think good ol' TDP may be best for assessing what the 7DII can do with different lenses. I try to check the news daily, and Bryan seems to be slowly working his way through different lenses with the 7DII. Some examples:



    But, my quick take away, as Rick showed, you get ~1.2x more resolution. But there is an efficiency loss with the higher pixel densities.

    Edit...and now the TS-E 24 mm
