Nikon 16-35 f/4
#3
I am guessing you are not liking the weaker corner performance at 16mm which PZ found? Because the strong barrel distortion is a given, and I doubt other sources would deny that.



The not sharp corners of the 16-35mm are very clearly visible just by looking at them, here 16mm stopped down to f8 on 24mp:

So it is clear Markus' findings are as expected.



Now for the "bad copy" idea.

This copy clearly has soft corners (at least 3, the sky one on the top right is not verifiable). And this is 16mm, closed down to f7.1, on 12mp D700:

Do you have any other sources which show unprocessed, full resolution images at 16mm, which show much better results?
