It's the smearing that is the problem more than anything

Guy - There's an option to download the full resolution files on Flickr at over 7,000 pixels wide on each image in the Flickr Album. I'll send some images to you by resized like you said!
Thank you for the swift reply!

At 4.5 I would not be returning this lens. Try more but shoot at 5.6 it will clean up even more. See if I can get the rest up for you.
Anyone else have any thoughts.

Might have repeated a few but I'm not really seeing smearing sure some softness but you wide open. 5.6 will change that

I did shoot a few at 5.6, 8 and 11! Would you like me to post-process a few of those from RAW and send them to you!?

I agree with Guy . . . these look pretty good. There's little to no smearing in the corners and looks reasonably sharp. This is, after all, 15mm wide. My copy is pretty sharp in the corners but not nearly as sharp as in center. Yours look pretty good here. . .

Yea I think this Is a good copy myself. I told him not to return it and buy mine , waste of effort . This looks good at 4.5 and I know it would be even better at 5.6

Guy, you don't know how much you have helped me here, tonight. I owe you some serious gratitude. It looks like I'm going to STAY for sure at Fred Miranda! I'll contribute some funds here for the premium membership when they come down the pipe but I owe you one. Thanks for the help tonight!
I sent those photos varying F5.6, 8, and 11!

I agree also, looks pretty good, no smearing. You may have the same issue that myself and a few others have where the infinity hard stop might be just a hair short so may not reach maximum focus. But it does not look like the bad copies did from the first batch of lenses.

I was thinking that was possible? Just in case is there a resource or instruction video to make those adjustments. I wouldn't touch this lens unless it's a relatively easy fix. To be honest, I like being able to focus lightly passed infinity and would like to be able to do that on this lens as well if it's possible?

Agree these last second batch images have been looking pretty good for the most part. Choppy I and II maybe slightly better but one may not notice it either. Choppy II is staying in the FM family so that's a nice bonus.

I'm absolutely OCD about having the best, only, which is why I went for a Sony A7R, but I cannot live without a backup which is why I got a second Sony A7R instead of jumping for an A7RII or settling for a simple A7... I have to have the BEST and I won't worry myself over this lens as long as it can shine, and apparently it does!
I'll get busy focusing on the ART now and quit worrying! Thanks again, Guy! (:
