FA 20mm F2.8 - I wondered if anyone had used one - interested to know how it compares to the 21mm pancake?

thanks

I used to have the A20/2.8, which is the same optically as the FA20/2.8 (just MF rather than AF).

Whilst fine on film, the A20 is very soft in the corners on digital (even the APS-C corner).
The DA21 is sharp corner to corner, as well as being a lot smaller

Thanks for the comments, although not sure about the sarcy one

Having just recieved the Samsung 12-24 I bought off the forum any thoughts on a 20mm lens have disappeared - I can't imagine anything much sharper than the 12-24 anyway, very impressed !!
