Sharp image in the first of the set but the rest look soft.

Do you have a brick wall that you can use as a test image against as that will show if the lens has an element that is off as it should be sharp across the whole frame. You need to make sure you are shooting at 90 degrees to the wall!
Exactly. Not many brick walls where I live. I'll have to go looking for one.
I think the results of the tests speak for themselves. It's a good close-up and macro lens. Eric is right about the rest.

Same around here in Cornwall. Lots of granite blocks in big buildings, more modern stuff is pebble dashed and latest stuff is timber framed.
