Arthur, I think you may be correct with the lenses both at the resolution limit of the sensor.

yea when are you D800 owners going to pick one up? love to see how well it matches up with your resolution monsters xD

If all goes well over the next 6 months .. roughly at the end of the year for me.

I do have another lens that I need a bit more desperately than 'another 50', so that will be my next bank balance reducing trip ... but this lens looks good enough to have to have one too.

It's not a focal length I use all that much. I would rather use my 85 f1.4G which is just as sharp or sharper or my Sigma 35 f1.4 Art.

yea for a while i felt i didn't need the 50 myself until there were few shots to get the framing i wanted i had to get too close which caused too much distortion when using the 35...
