The exceptions are the 70-200mm f2.8 II and the 24-70mm f2.8 II. These two are as sharp as primes and I shoot almost entirely with primes.

Cough cough: 100-400 II Stands up in any company.

(And I speak as owner or past owner of 600/4 II, 500/4, 100/2.8L macro, 35/1.4L, Tamron 85/1.8, EF-S 60/2.8 macro, 400/5.6L. The 100-400 II is just an awesome lens.)
