Well despite the very poor light I gave the lens test a go.
Lenses used : 55mm AIS Micro Nikkor and Stevies Sigma 28 - 200mm Aspherical IF Macro zoom. Aperture throughout f8 and the cameras were mounted on my Slik Professional tripod, and a cable release was used.
Not the best test conditions with the poor light resulting in exposure of 1/10 sec at f8 ISO 400. It is quite obvious that even at f8 the zoom is soft at the corners and overall not as sharp as the prime.
As mentioned earlier in the thread re D2X images and shrinking for posting if the image is high in detail. The full frame here is from the D100 and despite reducing to this size, it had to be compressed to 35% in 'save for web' to achieve this file size.
