All images above have been taken on a tripod using a cable release. At each aperture, three images have been made and the best of the series was chosen. As can be seen in the images, the 24mm prime lens works slightly better at f/2.8-f/4, especially at the edges. But the differences are very small. Remember: A zoom lens is compared to a prime lens here.
