Hey all,
I've been playing with my Nikon 12-24 f4 DX for a while now and somehow I just don't feel happy at all with its sharpness. Have a look at the attached picture, it's taken at 18mm with the 12-24 at f8 and the D90 kit lens 18-105 at f8 as well. The 18-105 certainly has more CA and exposed a bit too bright out of the box, but look at the stones, they feel much sharper with the kit lens. Now I wonder, am I expecting too much from the 12-24 or is my lens borked and should be sent to Nikon for service?
(the piece of the image is taken from the center, btw., not from a corner)
