Indeed! I picked up this lens to mess around with its 8 inch minimum focusing distance, but was pleasantly surprised by its Holganess. Center is always sharp, varying degrees of blur/vignette in the rest of the frame from wide open to f/8. Only at f/16 do the corners get kind of sharp. Not sure if that is normal for this lens, or if there's something 'wrong' with my copy.

First two scans with a Nikon LS-5000. I really wondered if I would see the difference between the LS-4000 and LS-5000, and I can. The 16 bit, and higher Dmax produce more shadow and highlight details. I wish Ultrafine Xtreme 400 came in 35mm. I have some Rollei Paul and Reinhold ISO 640 coming that looks to be about the equivalent - we'll see.
