Re: Is Canon EF-S 18-135 STM lens too soft in large apertures?

You might have a poor copy.  Take a look at my 85mm 1.8 prime shots (I don't own a single zoom lens except on MFT currently because I got tired of finding *good* quality zooms).

My wide open f1.8 shots do not degrade as much from f1.8 to f4.0 and that is saying a whole lot.  It only sharpens up significantly in extreme corners of FF area.
