Tony, how much noise reduction did you apply to that shot? I\'d be interested to see an unedited version to really compare sharpness. It looks like all the internal feather detail\'s been blurred out, so perhaps posting an unaltered shot would help to demonstrate your lens\'s capabilities.
This is jpeg SOOC. Shadows brought up slightly, no NR or sharpening applied.
Handheld at ISO 1600 & 1/640 sec.
