Here is my opinion of the sharpness of the lenses I use, in sequential order. All lenses are compared by using their best f-stop. Listing is from sharpest to least sharp. 1. 75mm 2. 45mm 3. 105mm 4. 600mm 5. 200mm 6. 300mm The 45, 105, 600 and 200 are very similar in sharpness while the 75 is noticeably better and the 300 is noticeably worse.
