Yes you can get 'closer' with Canon but you will have less details. That are not a macro lenses, but tele yes.

Care to share where you got this wisdom?



In my opinion it is not based on ANYTHING what so ever. In my opinion it is nonsense to claim that the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR II is better at close distances (it can not even get close) and that it somehow would give more detail.



I will say It again, I often use my 70-200mm f4 L USM for close ups. And it is NOT the sharpest Canon 70-200 on the market (the new 70-200 f4 L IS USM and 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM II are the sharpest), yet it resolves PERFECTLY at MFD and beyond MFD (with extension tube).



The Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM II for sure is a better lens than the Nikon VR II for close ups. Also regarding detail. Of course it is, it has a much bigger magnification.



Anyway, if for some reason you want to keep arguing otherwise, it would be nice to see actual evidence of what you are claiming.



PS: here three examples of my 70-200 f4 L IS USM past MFD (with 12mm extension tube), at 0.9m distance:

Before you confuse shallow DOF with lack of detail... all taken wide open (f4).
