Re: I'll complicate the matter a little...

Yeah, the original is a joker... good here, not so much there. But I think Canon's engineers said it best, that lens is fairly good in actual resolution, but falls short in contrast. And lenses that show lower contrast are generally seen as, "not as sharp" as others that are good in contrast and lower in resolution. The DO II improved the contrast and and resolution along with other various aberrations.
