Sample variation ...

You should have stopped down a little to get more sharpness. Just kidding. I wonder if there's just big sample variations. I thought the DP review samples looked really bad but I also see lot of samples that look really good. I don't mean that as a swipe to this site as I think most galleries really demonstrate lenses well but I was surprised at how the samples for this lens looked.

Sample variation also comes in the form of the people pressing the shutter button.

I never put too much faith in any one sample shoot or review, even from reviewers I really like.  You've got 2 different variables that can go bad. The DP Review shots (or anyone else's) could be a bad lens or just bad usage of the lens or a little of both.
