[QUOTE="Mycenius, post: 233743, member: 14714"] I have noticed this too (softness in some shots). I picked up my 17-55 second hand (as new) the day I got my new D7100, and I didn't get the chance to try it on my D90 as I had already on sold that a few days before. Fantastic lens - it's my day to day carry-around - and I took 95% of my shots on my month long USA trip recently with it. But it does sometimes give soft or 'unsharp' images for some reason, when other times it's super sharp... I suspect it's the higher resolution sensor (24MP) on the D7100 highlighting some very minor inconsistencies that show up in certain rare occasions? On the sharpness side I took this image playing around the very first day I got the lens (this is a crop of about 20% of the original) [ATTACH=CONFIG]63194._xfImport[/ATTACH] Camera: D7100 Lens and Filters: Nikkor AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED (No Filter) Film and/or ISO: ISO 100 Aperture: f/2.8 @ 55mm Shutter speed: 1/1000 [/QUOTE]
