I fancied a go at this today . . . SOOC two photos with this 300mm. Photo1 is the bottom half and photo2 is the top half. Handheld and then manually 'stitched' together in Gimp. It came out okay methinks. Download the full resolution and see if you can find the scaffolding 'stitch error' - not...

Noo noo noo, you are correct . . . post does need to be done to crispen up the image especially at 1.2. I have a 50mp sensor so I have the luxury of being able to crop and select the choicest of final compositions and crisp it up from there.

I agree, to a point . The focus area at 1.2 with a bit of sharpening is more than excellent . . . the out of focus areas are different to my other lenses making this 1.2 different from my other lenses lol. I rate it as a pixel peeper if used sympathetically. My other lenses are surgically sharp...
