It is just some diffraction effect, which may not show up as much on a 
web image.  I managed to accidentally change the camera dial from 
aperture preference to shutter preference, hence a number of photos 
taken at very small apertures.  The Canon 200mm 2.8L is very sharp wide 
open or stopped down a little, not as much past that.  Further 
complicating this is that I am about three years behind on an eye exam.  
Why introduce just one variable when you can have several? :)
