I need to find a web site to show me what to look for.  I have the Canon 
16-35 2.8, the 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 2.8 and some primes and don't 
see any of these things.  I have some default sharpening presets in ACR, 
but they are capture sharpening.  The 5DII allows you to set the sensor 
to lens distance for each lens, which does help somewhat.   I have seen 
some fringing under extreme backlighting, but no surprises there I 
guess.  Maybe it's something that just occurs wide open - I usually stop 
down a little if I can.  Just curious.
