Sharpest fast 17mm lens?

If you want sharpness and fast apertures I wouldn't look for a zoom, instead I'd look for an FA20/2.8, FA35/2 and FA50/1.4 combination (I went for the FA20-35/4 over the FA20/2.8 but I'm not fussed by the difference between f/2.8 & f/4 for a wide-angle (it also makes a cracking zoom range for film!).

I'm going to check some photos on my laptop and check if issues could have been to slow shutter speed, shooting at f2.8. I might post up some photos here too for opinions.

Hi
My Tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens is struggling these days, at 17mm won't focus automatically.
I'm planning on replacing it but would like to know which lens (17mm or thereabouts shortest focal length to 50mm or thereabouts ) would be the sharpest wide open/at f2.8?
Many reviews say x lens is soft wide open but one the points of such a lens is to use it wide open.
Thanks in advance,
Pa
