Dave -- thanks for doing the test.

Were these shot JPEG or RAW? The reason I'm asking is that it appears that there's quite a bit of noise reduction in both sets, and this could have decreased any differences in sharpness that may exist between the two lenses.

Best,

Art

Hi Art, and thanks...I still have to do a v2 of this test at wider apertures but these were JPG...when I shot this right after purchasing the 24-70 I was expecting a more obvious difference between the two lenses that I thought would be easily visible in JPG so didn't bother shooting RAW.  Although given that they were shot with the aperture closed way down, I now see in retrospect that it might have made more sense to shoot RAW. Will do next time. thx D
