The hotspot I have at f16 even in the normal, visible spectrum is more pronounced than that Eric.I appreciate that... but you used the 50mm lens....which, no disrespect, is a £200? lens.
This crop is from the D1x Normal spectrum body, the hotspot is actually in the centre of the frame.
The 24-70 is a £1200 lens...and frankly its not good enough to have a weakness like this.
Sure we rarely use f16, but that's not the point. IMHO there is an optical defect, that compromises the full range of its potential.
Interestingly my oooooold 28-70 AFS which I (fortunately) kept.... doesnt have a hotspot. Similarly the 80-200AFS I used in my test is clear.
So not a step forward then?
