Re:Primes are sharper overall

My experience with the 5DS R

  • Most "modern" zooms (my experience is with the 24-70II) are sharp in the center, and have decreased sharpness the closer you get to the edge  of the frame.
  • Most "modern" fixed focal length lenses are sharper than their zoom equivalent at the same focal length , even more pronounced once you get closer to the edge of the frame.  
  • My 35II 1.4L center sharpness greatly exceeds that of the my 24-70II.  No comparison in edge sharpness.  The 35II wins.
