Let's also not forget that most copies of that lens are poor. You say you have a good copy, but most are not. The average copy is passable at the wide end when stopped down but much worse at the long end, and soft everywhere wide open.

Do we have any evidence for "most" ??

I've had two copies and two of them OK. Plenty other people say the same. And no doubt many more people with issues post than those who don't have issues.

My copy is pretty good between 15-35mm at f.5.6 and perfectly fine at f/8 45mm with a tiny contrast boost and that's with pixel peeping. And fine for A4 prints / screen viewing even wide open everywhere.
