Owners of the lens, what is your verdict? I have been shooting various trips during an intense week and unfortunately I cannot recommend it with K-1. In short: No matter how much I stop down the corners will not resolve enough to be usable with pixel shift. 24mm seems to be best focal length but even that fails on infinity.

Optically it seems to be on par with Zony 24-70/4 which is quite not okay. Nikkor 24-70 (old version) beats this Tampax zoom easily.

Yea I was planning to buy that lens as well. Seems like if you want to shoot wide , the 28-75 is your best bet for wide shots. I like to link more youtube on this lens but this is the only 1 I found.

And you are correct, even this tester also discover the softness.~
