Slightly jetlagged at the moment and trying to stay up as late as possible , so probably not the best time to post

However I strongly suspect once the good Doctor has had a look at adequate brick wall comparisons with enough copies he'll find it's quite a bit softer at the edges.. and sometimes in other areas... than lenses like the 12-24 etc, particularly at low apertures

But IMHO that's not the point of this lens. It has a certain zing about the rendering, is hugely compact, beautifully engineered and a joy to use and (probably irrelevantly) does starbusts better than any other lens I've used. Pixel peeping will probably find the lens out compared to the 12-24 etc, but I just love mine and the job it does for me.

Happy to snap a few brick walls tomorrow if helpful and to add to Jon's contribution. I suspect this lens shows a bit of variability between copies...
