[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 626467, member: 13090"] Well I'm not one to pixel-peep too much and in all honesty I don't know if the corner-sharpness, in particular, is better on the G2 or not. Overall I can tell you the lens is quite sharp when shooting wide open and stopped down to f/4 or f/5.6 it's amazingly sharp and at all focal-lengths. Compared to the G1 version there is a definite, marked increase in overall sharpness. I wouldn't want to try and put a number to "how much" sharper the G2 is by comparison, but in my experience there's [U]NO[/U] denying the G2 is sharper and in my opinion by a fairly good margin. I'll be very curious to see how this lens rates on DxO Mark. In its defense my G1 lens was sharp, no doubt about that, it's an excellent lens, full stop. I was having issue with a growing sense of frustration that stemmed from feeling like I was missing shots I shouldn't have been, maybe, oh... I don't know, say 10% of the time, or something like that. I don't know if this was because the lens was having a bad day, if I was having a bad bay or if it was some kind of cosmic alignment causing those missed shots but it really had me scratching my head. I have this gut feeling (take that for what it's worth!) the reason I was getting those missed shots was that the auto-focus was [I]losing[/I] focus-lock before I grabbed my shot and without me noticing. That's just a hypothesis of mine and no one else who owns this lens seems to have this complaint, so it's also entirely possible it was simply my copy, or my technique or a combination. I dunno. What I do know is the G2 has been 100%, 100% of the time since I've had it. Nothing but snappy, rock-solid auto-focus performance from the get-go. I think this may be a big part of the reason I'm getting such consistently sharp shots; the AF is cooperating and really letting my D750 perform to its fullest potential. I hope that answers your question but if not, or if you have others, please feel free to post or PM. [/QUOTE]
