Yep. I've not done any real "testing" with it, and I've looked at 100% crops of some pictures and seen some smearing in the corners but I can't be sure it was in focus. I do have a couple pictures that I believe I shot at f/16 that are great all the way out to the corners, in fact I've got 20x30 prints of them up on my walls now.
@ uhoh -- nice goat shots, I'm envious. I've come across them in the Wallowas in eastern Oregon, but I never can get close proximity before they make a deliberate exit.
@ Jim -- I really like the mantis shot. They always have such poise, very worthy of the dramatic lighting.

Better lucky than good-eh?
TY sir---if not for you would never have taken it. There is just no overstating the zm18 out of doors. I'm liking the FOV more and more. I would really like to find a cv 12, as the sony is a bit iffy, and my sigma 8-16 is heavy. I can still visualize your paris shot with the zeiss
Today I gave my contax 100-300 a real workout at the barn and hope to get some more fall shots this evening.

Agreed! And yes I'm very happy with the super-elmar. I actually had the zm 18 on my wish list for a long time, in a large part due to your (uh-oh's) pictures with it :-) But then the 21SE came along and stole me away.
Getting comfortable with my NEX 5N and manual lenses
First shot is with new Voightlander 15mm Heliar 4.5 Second shot with Zeiss 50mm 1.8 Rollei QBM mount.
Third shot with Rolleinar 28mm 2.8
The 7 can shoot that one sharp into the corners at f/8? Jeez what am I saying--just looked through your set and the corners look great, wow.
