Any samples yet? There was a poster just last week who had lens IQ issues that were exacerbated by less than optimal Picture Style settings (we could tell that from the images).

We never found out what his issue was, he said he wasn`t using picture styles and was shooting in RAW and developing in Lightroom ..... I suggested he uploaded a couple to Google Drive so we could develop them and help him sort the issue out but he didn`t respond

I could tell what the issue was within 30 seconds of seeing his example.  Softness at 45mm (even worse than normal for that lens), and overaggressive noise reduction settings, for starters.

In-camera picture style settings are used by almost every conversion software (automatically) as a starting point for editing.  Profiles can be applied, and his were obviously off if so.

Samples from the OP here would really help us out.  In fact it would be just guessing otherwise.  Supplied RAWs would certainly also help.
