if you need to zoom in to be critical of the sharpness then you are a pixel peeper rather than a photographer.

I don't know that I would agree with that statement. What is ok for a family snapshot with a Dutch angle horizon posted on FaceBook may not be suitable if the image is intended for other purposes.

This thread is about sharpness of a lens wide open, not how skilled or otherwise my grandson is. Frankly your rudeness may be acceptable on Twitter but is not appreciated here..

Well, I'm sorry that I offended you but my point, in response to your statement stands. If you are doing paid work for a client you should "pixel peep" AND you are a photographer. Family snapshots are another story. Your blanket statement about pixel peeping was rather harsh, I would say.
