2 & 3 are better than 1. The minor difference between 2 & 3 are a toss-up, seemingly unrelated to the equipment used as no two unique images are ever truly exactly the same. But, it's unclear what purpose this inspection is intended to demonstrate or accomplish.

I have to go with #1 being the sharpest, with #2 and #3 being similar to each other, and not quite as sharp as #1.

I'm looking at the stamen/pistils first, then the flower petals. On this basis, all 3 are 'keepers'. If you want to search for the small difference between lenses, use resolution charts, discernable to all as a way to compare one vs another. This is a 'real world' comparison of 3. And all 3 came up with credible/viable offerings at a much lower 'bar' of evaluation.

Suggest you use something that aids the direct comparison of A-B-C like a distant city outline against the sky or any of a variety of similar ways to 'pixel peep' the differences between each one. If I don't do this, user 'error' or differences could be the determining factor in one vs the other of 3 options. (Did I somehow get the focus absolutely identical in 3 pictures of the same 3 dimensional picture 'subject'? (very difficult to do)

I'll go with # 2 it is the sharpest to my eyes, but all of then are keepers. The differences are so minimal in color, contrast, and sharpness.

Comparing the 3 shots downloaded and zoomed, I see #1 as the clearest, but only by a slight degree. #2 and #3 are indistinguishable.

It’s like saying, “I have a family sedan, a pickup truck and a Ferrari. I tested them all at 50 mph. Which should I keep?”


But which lens is the Ferrari?

So far the only thing I don't like (for the money) is the weight. 3+ pounds soaking wet, but it is weather sealed, I think?

Agreed. A search for a solution without a problem.
