Hmm... quite a harsh statement regarding the 17mm 1.8. Could it be sample
variation?
I'm happy with my 17mm 1.8. I actually compared it with a 17mm 1.2 on a
show, very unscientific of course, and was surprised that I found the
differences in sharpness and rendering not very big (surprised, because the
1.2 gets stellar reviews, the 1.8 less so).
Not the best shots to judge sharpness I guess, but do you see very soft
images just outside dead center in these?
Most in the theatres at f/2, some f/1.8: <
