If these were taken with the IBIS off I would probably return the lens again. I do believe that many on this website are too nitpicky about decentering, but this looks bad enough to affect resale value & show up in smaller prints as an obvious problem.
My dealer must have had enough of me, as they have offered a full refund (class act gesture, considering I had had the original copy for close to a year!). I will take their offer, as the variation of this lens makes it prone to a lot of to and fro. Between the CV50APO and the Sigma 45 (both of which have been perfect) I am well covered for pleasant rendering, low light performance and sharpness.
More snowstorm photos, but in color this time. Last one is from the same walk. For a moment the clouds drew apart and showed a sky filled with Polar stratospheric clouds. They are a rare phenomena that can occur in winter when strong winds in the mountains drive moisture up into the stratosphere, where it condenses into clouds. Since the sun is at a low angle in winter it can shine at them from below, which gives these iridescent colors.

So I was turned on to this lens yesterday and went down a bit of a rabbit hole! Is there an image quality difference between the 40 and 50mm versions? Why is there so much love for the 40, but not as much for the 50, is it just preference of 40v50?
