Well, thanks...

I was waiting for this test in particular...I have bought a D800 recently and have been deciding on something tele for a long long time...



This makes me decide In favor of 180/2.8



I was expecting much better resolution figures...at least compared to a 25 years old lens...take a look at this:





Prime: (on D3X)

3545/2958/2892 @ F2.8

3649/3079/2943 @ F4

3734/31342982 @ F5.6



Zoom: (@200mm)

3616/3046/2977 @ F4

3690/3116/3018 @ F5.6



180 resolves more in the center and corners as well. Its just the extreme corners where the zoom has a marginal lead. Zoom doesn't have f2.8 so that's a mute point..

Well I guess it would be more reasonable to compare 180mm f/2.8 with the 70-200mm F/2.8 @180mm. This new f/4 lens can do a lot more than the 180mm can do (besides the marginal resolution differences which we can hardly see in practical terms...<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />/>)
