Have taken a few at different distances but closer shots, say 2ft or nearer look soft. If you're thinking focus shift or parallax error I've tried shooting using EVF, rear LCD, and manual focus to rule this out.
Yep, it's a well known fact that the closer you get with this lens at f2, the softer things get. It isn't a great lens for wide open, up close shots. The manual even suggests not to use it below f4 when in macro mode. If you want a lot of detail up close, I'd stop it down a stop or two, but f2 will start sharpening up nicely if you move a little further away. At most test chart distances, the lens performs nicely at f2, but up close, not so much.
