Again, don't use it at MFD.

It's very simple. Most lenses are not optimised to be sharp at MFD.

Where’s that come from??  I was highlighting that I would expect a prime to be sharper at its focal length than a zoom (thy is twice the price) and in my experience that was born out here too.

There’s no criticism of the 24-105 and no mention of mfd or any other info from my side, I didn’t ever user the 24-105 at MFD when I borrowed it from Canon… so I don’t think that explains the difference I am seeing but hey - feel free to correct what I haven’t written again 😅
