Mandrake – By the way – not my bike.
Here are two shots absolutely right out of the camera
with no enhancement or additional sharpening.
The top shot was taken @ 35mm with the 18-55mm lens
and the bottom was taken using my 35mm prime lens.
I can’t tell the difference but maybe others can – let me know.
Thanks…Dale.

Dale… You’re right. I see no discernible (is that redundant?) difference in sharpness.
Kind of makes you wonder, I know.
The 35mm shot does seem a bit brighter. Maybe the lighting changed.
Guess I’ll have to conduct my own extensive testing. (sigh)

Hmmm… I think there is a difference… I think the second is much sharper… I can see it in both the words Hamilton Beach and Sugar twin… top edge of the toaster look much clearer as well…
Maybe it’s just me

Michael… For some reason I did not even look at the words “Hamilton Beach”.
You are right. Without a doubt, the second photo (35mm prime) is much sharper.
Thanks for clearing this up. (pun intended)

Thank you both for your input. As I take another look I
can see that you are both absolutely right! The 35mm is
both sharper and brighter (slightly). I probably should have
picked a better “scene” to conduct the test and if I do another
one I will take great care to be as exact as possible and choose
a subject that will reveal a clear winner.
Dale.
Still think the 18-55 did a good job but the 35mm won this round lol!

I would hope so. Otherwise, why buy the prime?
Yes…. I know… it’s fast. But it’s supposed to be faster and sharper.
