Not to say that one could not express an opinion if they were hand held but comparison between the two lenses would be meaningless - e.g on one of the shots you may have not held the lens quite as steady as the other (at macro distances you would only have to move the lens a tad to render it out of focus). It would be interesting to see a comparison between the two under controlled conditions: Static subject at macro distance, Tripod and remote release (or timer). That way you would have a fair comparison.Edit: I see they were both hand held so my post is applicable IMO.</blockquote>
