Interesting, were the images unmodified in camera jpgs? How easy would it be to make a crop from the very left edge of the frame showing the detail on the car-park/overhead conveyor? Are you using PS actions to generate the test crops/enlargements? The reason I tend to be more critical of WA lenses is that I tend to use them where the entire frame is important, my images tend to be far more centre centric when shooting longer lenses. There seems to be far more variation in WA lenses particularly at the edges than in medium to tele lenses particularly WRT CA and edge sharpness so I'm always interested to see how lenses compare in this respect, thanks for putting the effort in.
