I have owned a Canon 5D Mark II camera with Canon 100mm/2.8 L macro lens before.
I am considering moving to Nikon camp by purchasing Nikon D850 and Nikon 105mm/2.8 micro lens. My concern is that the pictures that I have seen here or elsewhere taken with Nikon 105mm micro lens are not as sharp as the ones I have taken with my Canon 100mm L macro lens.
I have seen the MTF chart for Nikon 105mm/2.8 micro lens as well as the Canon 100mm/2.8 L lens. The chart confirms my skepticism. The Canon lens consistently ranks above Nikon micro lens in the MTF chart. Could it be that the Nikon lens is made in China whereas the Canon 100mm L macro lens is made in Japan. I hate to to believe that but could the quality of Nikon lens be inferior, relatively speaking, because of Chinese manufacturing.
Thanks for your input.
