I just got my 45-85mm fa, for landscape work good up to 65mm,
Then corners start getting soft. I did my test at f11, shot the lens at 45,55,65,75,85 using af almost at infinity.
I was pleased because it smoked my 45mm fa, nothing wrong with the 45mm if your not to concerned about corners

Originally posted by Shuttershane Well as far as I can tell the 45-85mm has been great for me. For a zoom the only thing I can really compare to is my canon 24-105mm in this zoom range. This lens is way sharper than the canon.
