Most photographers don't examine their photos at 100% edge to edge and don't need to. For a small reprint in newspapers and magazines or on the web, Canon photos are "good enough"; but stock photographers submitting to agencies know that their photos will be examined that way and rejected if there are problems. The Alamy forum has complaints daily from people who are not able to get anything to pass Quality Control. I used to have problems with the Canon lenses, too, and had quite a few failures. Since I started submitting M8 photos, I have not had a single photo fail Quality Control. Also, some Canon lenses are worse than others. The 16-35 zoom is absolutely awful. The 24/1.4 L is pretty bad. Wides are much worse than longer lenses.
