[QUOTE="Skytalker, post: 196839, member: 15613"] Line widths per picture height (LW/PH) can be taken as a measure for sharpness. If you want to know more about the MTF50 figures you may check out the corresponding [URL="http://www.imatest.com/docs/sfr_MTFplot.html"]Imatest Explanations[/URL]. So summing up: 1) on DX the 14-24|24-70|70-200 are SHARPER than any prime in the range of 14-200mm. 2) on FX the 14-24|24-70|70-200 are ON PAR or SHARPER than any prime in the range of 14-200mm. To say that primes are sharper than nowadays professional zooms is INACCURATE. But they are sharper than consumer zooms. [/QUOTE]
