Canon 14mmf2.8 mk2 v Nikon 14-24 f2.8

have been seing lots of screaming accolades for the new nikon zoom and frankly some reviews appear to put the canon to shame
e.g.
on FM
on -16:9.net

However looking at these 'ere MTF doobies I can't see that the Canon comes off worse but then I am no expert reading MTF charts

yeah yeah I know it's theoretical heretical schmetical but humour me.. (everyone else does:lol

Sure the Canon may not be all that spiffing wide open as the Nikon appears to be, but by f8 it's totally there - isn't it?

In case the pics don't attach:
Nikon Japanese MTFs
Nikon14-24 f2.8zoom
Canon 14mk2

Nikon first (grey) then canon (White)
anyone got more MTFs for the Nikon?

What does it all mean?

The Canon will fit my EOS bodies without an adapter, and retain AF.

yeah that goes without saying

That's not the question. The question is , according to the MTFs and there may be others that peeps can dig up, to my very untrained eye the canon seems to hold up as well as the nikon, by f8 ( which is fine as I would expect to stop it down anyhoo, I'd never shoot 14mm at 2.8m well not often)

Calling all MTF reading experts....

no one got nuffin to say about those mtfs?

One other thing, is you can't directly compare MTF between manufacturers, as they have different testing methods and such.
