Looks like at f11 the canon is sharpest in the center. the sigma II seems sharper in the corners at all apertures. granted 17 is by far the weakest point of the 17-40, and in the middle of the range for 12-24. More impressive is how much better than version 1 it is. My Flickr

GMCPhotographics Goldmember  More info | Aug 21, 2011 12:18 | #37 Hmmm, have fun with this new lens guys. I'm not too keen on the distortion, it's the key attribute of the previous version that I adore. I can put up with wide open softness, I usually stop this lens down. But those distortions...erm..no! I'll happily stick to my existing lens. Regards, Gareth Cooper GMCPhotographics

Unsharp Mask is much easier to work than geometric corrections! I have put in requests with DxO for this lens on several popular Canon bodies, though, so maybe someday the distortions won't be too hard to correct. Bodies: Canon EOS 1D X | 5D Mark III

I think that test charts aren't very realistic representations of actual photographic results for these types of lenses. Case in point, I have the 400 5.6 and it's absolutely razor sharp, yet PZ gave it just a decent rating. They panned the 180 3.5 macro, but the copy I had was incredible as well. I would agree that without corrections, it might not make a great architectural lens, but the 12mm reach is something that is spectacular and yet can't be achieved without tradeoffs.

They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard! - Fallout New Vegas

Correct - they were taken before I bought the 5D MkII. I'll post some FF shots when I get a chance to take some. Bodies: Canon EOS 1D X | 5D Mark III
