Ok. I will try again and hope to get at least one right. I'll assume OIS is off and e shutter on (I think this really affects the 16-50pz)

The first 3 is hard to guess.

1. 18-55

2. 16-50 pz

3. 20-50 (a bit cooler color from last test)

4. 18-200 (blur)

5. 30mm f2 (sharpest and not so saturated color)

Everybody will agree that

4. 18-200 (blur)

I guess:

1. 30mm (best picture to me, best bokeh)

5. 20-50 (cooler colors, good performance on corner)

2. 16 - 50 PZ

3. 18-55 (worst performance on corner)

They all uses f4.5, so I think the bokeh might be due to small difference in focus. I found it strange that the 20-50 would be the cooler color as that is not how I remember it. But my 30/f2 is less warm/saturated than the zooms, probably camera profile. That said, I might switch 1 and 3 or 2 and 3 ....
