Re: Mine is not soft at 100mm f/2.8.

I find the 35-100 sharp enough at 100 f2.8. I bought into this system primarily because of the size and IQ compromises and in this regard I believe Panny is doing a better job of meeting my needs in the 2.8 zoom lens category.

Is this image super sharp, no, but he was coming at me at 40mph and it is sharp enough for my hobbyist needs. I'd just go to FF if size and weight weren't a major part of my kit choice. I am thrilled we have these two great options though.
