I just received this lens from Digital Rev in Hong Kong and am not too impressed with its sharpness wide open. When stopped down to f5.6 it is beautifully sharp, however I was lead to believe that this lens was supposed to be reasonably sharp at all f numbers and was supposedly a must buy lens.
I have enclosed some 100% crops at different f stops to demonstrate. These were taken by using the autofocus to lock focus and then switching to manual to avoid any change in focus.
Could somebody who owns this lens please comment on the sharpness and tell me if this is normal. If it is normal then could someone recommend another fast lens that can actually take sharp shots at wide apertures.
Cheers Stu
