Handheld that is. I was handholding my Sigma 24-70F2.8 Hsm lens taking some nice pictures. Big mistake!! Not one sharp photo. On A tripod with mirror lockup and cable release, perfectly sharp, sharp, sharp.
Then I compared my Sigma 18-125f3.5-5.6 OS lens handheld and the photos were sharp. Same with my 70-300 OS lens.
Then I tried my f2.8 primes, 17mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 45mm, 90mm. 17-35mmf2.8. 28-70f2.8. No Sharp photos. On a tripod they are all sharp.
So when I am going to do some handheld shooting, it's obvious to use Stabilizer lenses.
So it is true, if you really want the sharpest perfect photos use a tripod.
Wow!

So if you intend to shoot hand held do not buy a prime??? sorry there must be another reason why your hand held are not sharp
