[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 554848, member: 9240"] I've posted this before, but there's a guy at The-Digital-Picture that built a tool that lets you take a look at a pair of lenses "side-by-side" online, varying focal length (if applicable) and aperture (which has a huge impact on IQ in lesser lenses).

If you're shooting wide open on either lens at 300mm it's gonna be soft. Even at f8 these are both so-so. [/QUOTE]
