[QUOTE="Andy Smith, post: 4945, member: 20"] Most wide angle zoom lenses will be soft in the corners compared to the centre of the image when used wide open, this can be amplified also depending on the light, atmosphere, smog, heat haze etc. For an f/4 lens you will probably find the optimum sharpness to be around f/8 maybe even f/11 depending on all factors involved. To be honest though I wouldn't worry about it because unless you are shooting in very low light you will probably never use f/4 with a wide angle lens, as most shots will be probably using f/8 or smaller. My suggestion is to find the sharpest aperture for the lens, and then use that as your guideline for future images. [/QUOTE]
