I have the lens, and in general use find it to be very sharp, brilliant, and
contrasty.  I have also tested it for resolution with Kodak Technical Pan
film and Technidol developer.  I examined the center of the negative I shot
at f2.8 first, and was delighted to see the 80 lp/mm target lines perfectly
resolved!  This resolution figure was achieved in the center of the field
from f2.8 to f11, and was also achieved at the edges at f5.6 to f11!  I was
impressed that a wide angle lens would display such a flat field and
excellent edge resolution.  It is an excellent lens.
