Dan, this shot looks great at web-size, especially the dewdrops (or maybe rain). There's been some discussion online regarding the effects of diffraction on the D800 pair. Did you find a noticeable increase in softness in print (not pixel-peep) on this shot at f22?

John,
I cropped and printed square 17" x 17" so there is no question I printed the sharpest portion of this image..
Here is the image as shot. Will see what you think about the corners. Bottom left and right look pretty ugly!
Not the best lens for macro. About 6 feet away to get good focus.

Thanks, Dan. Looking at the larger pic, it's hard to tell what in the corners is soft, and what sections are just out of the depth of field. But that center portion is gorgeous.
