Re: Copy variation: which one should i keep?

You really, really need to use sturdy tripod to shoot comparison photos. For example, second set of images (Fender amp) light falls differently in two cases causing different images (and not a bit different, quite a lot), first image was not shot from the same exact distance or relative angle (one of them is slightly crooked, but which one?). Fix the camera and take the shots. RAW and not in camera processed and sharpened JPEGs.

For me, I would pick lens that much more uniform (and is very good at 18mm) than the one that is slightly sharper in the center but is blurry from midpoint on (and is much worse at 18mm). That said, only you can know what kind of photographs you take (landscape, portrait, detail shots, architecture, ...) and what is more important to you.
