It's interesting to me, that the more expensive lens is not always necessarily the sharper of the two and in your testing for example the 75 vs the 40-150 the 75mm IS definitely sharper reading the text on the signs where it counts where the prime has it. The zoom perhaps is more versatile, but its expense does not necessarily always justify the outlay from what I am seeing in these and other photos.
