Centre Sharpness Compared to 50mm f1.8 AF-D

Same as the previous composites, this time at 50mm compared to the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF-D at f5, which is one of Nikon's sharpest lenses in that range. The 18-200 holds up very well; it in fact looks a little better though I'm sure the prime is sharper, which indicates the autofocus shot-to-shot variation is larger than the differences in lens performance here.
