Does my 16-55 have an issue?

Samples vary!

Rember, samples vary. Sometimes more than between models! I have the same chart - and have done tests with it - along with the ISO 12233 charts

1- You have an excellent 18-55. Keep it! It is a winner!

2- Nothing wrong with your 16-55. It's a little sharper in the corners, but it should be.

Your test is an example of the discipline needed for such tests. Take a bow! Me, I would be strongly tempted to keep, and use, the 18-55. Why? Lighter, OS, and just as good - maybe. What does it look like wide open - or do you care?
