[OM] fuzzy as hell (OT as anything)

To the wise oldsters of the list, who must have hundreds of years  
experience between them and know a thing or two about testing lenses...

Today I got back from Nikon UK repair service my 80-200 / 2.8 AF-S. I  
took some test shots and drove straight over to their facility to  
return it. I've been trying to get it fixed for some time (British  
understatement; one week short of 6 months and £520) and really feel I  
need some impartial opinion at this point. They claim their most  
experienced technician has worked on it and that it now falls within  
tolerance.

Please take a look and see if you would accept it. Shots are taken  
tripod mounted, self-timer, studio flash with duration 700th/sec,  
shutter 200th/sec. Jpegs straight out of the camera. 100% crops. I  
tried refocusing and took several shots, then picked the best. It's at  
200mm f2.8, but even so.

The lens seems to have a really good rep. The crop on my page labelled  
'momentum' comes from this page below. It's also 200mm at 2.8.
