I have both and used them on assignments and stock photography, the f4 version is far better at the wider ends, no question about that. None is 100% perfect, no superwide ever is. You find that at. 16 mil focal range even the f4 version will give very slight CA at the corners.

However, the f4 have superb corner to corner sharpness at the widest ends, the f.2.8 dont.
