I agree with Godfrey. I don't think it's fair to draw conclusions based
on this single frame example. But having had considerable experience
with both lenses, I would say that the 16-45 is a very good lens and
the 12-24 is an outstanding lens. And well it should be, given its near
four figure price.

Not exactly a fair test ... zooms are generally at their worst at the
focal length limits and at their best in the middle of the range, here
you've got the 16-45 at its wide limit and the 12-24 right in the
middle of its range.
But judging by these two pictures, the 16-45 has a heck of a problem
at corners and edges. The 12-24 renders much better results.
