OK, so made some somewhat better test shots. Zero adjustments in LR, other than applying lens corrections.

Shot at F8 and at the infinity hard stop.

The lens doesn't look terrible to me, but not fantastic. I had a CV 12mm that was horribly smeared in the corners, and this lens is nowhere near that level.

TBH, I probably wouldn't notice the corners on this lens, unless I was photographing something I needed sharp in the corners - but IMO, it's also important to consider the overall IQ because it may find it's way to a new owner some day.

What's the consensus?
If you received this lens in a sale, would it be acceptable? or do I still need better images to tell for sure?
