I got a Laowa 12mm f/2.8 through Kickstarter. I don't have any Nikon ultrawide primes (or zooms, for that matter), and I'm curious to know if anyone has had a chance to form an opinion about the Laowa compared to Nikon's offerings. Here are some samples from my copy of the Laowa:

I am surprised at how many of your sample shots have soft mushy corners. Did you not focus properly? I had read if you are too close to subjects that the Laowa 12mm mushes the corners, I guess that is true?
I had looked at it a bit for use in night shooting of the stars, but from what little I was able to find on it, the corners are not good at all on the 12mm Laowa. Which is sad, because I had liked the idea of what they were presenting.

PS. Nikon doesn't have a 12mm lens, so not sure you could get a true comparison.
