I used the whole range of F- stops, as I was doing portraits and landscape work with a tripod. The edges fell apart at all apertures. Though I did find the tonality interesting. Back then I was also shooting heavily with first an F4 Super-Angulon, and then shortly settling with an F3.4 S/A. By then, I was utterly aggravated with the quality of these lenses, the F4 isn't worth talking about, and the F3.4 was barely useable between F5.6 to F8.5. Needless to say, I abandoned doing any serious work with those lenses and fell back into the world view according to Rollei.
