16-45/4 vs 12-24/4

[Patrick Genovese]

Hello Juan,

I have the 12-24 and i simply love it. It is very sharp at all focal
lengths. Wide open at F/4 the sharpenss is good to excellent and gets
a bit better around f5.6 to f/8 beyond f/16 sharpness starts to drop
due to diffraction effects.

At F/4 there is some vignetting but can easily be corrected at raw
conversion stage. CA can be a bit pronounced but again easily fixable.

Flare resistance is good.

Handling is great.

Regards

Patrick
