How do they perform? Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS vs 200mm f/2.8 L vs 50mm f/1.8

The battle of Canon primes.

This test is: unscientific, unprofessional, unreliable and geeky.

But we know who we are; we like this stuff. Here are the results then.

All shot at f/4.

My rank:
Winner: Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS
2. 200mm f/2.8 L (MK I)
3. 50mm f/1.8 (MK I)

They all seem excellent to me.

UPDATE: I added the test for the EF 100mm f/2.0. It is getting though now. To my eye, this one seems on par with the 200mm, although the colors look a bit colder.
