Have not read a thing on this but I can tell you right now as someone that test lenses . This test is off big time. Look at the angle to this image . It needs too be dead on to subject and center. That means all sides must be perfectly even to the other side. This image is not even close. Everything has to be level. Not reading anything this is a invalid test right out of the gate. I have this lens as well and tested it on several subject and there is nothing bad about it. Sure there maybe copy variance and if you see that return it get another.
Oh... OK. I could have been super clear about that image illustrating what my IKEA test bench look like... The image was taken from an angle, at a larger distance and with a cell phone (but at least with a Sony).
I am a little hurt though.... if you thought that was the actual image/setup I used to evaluate the lenses it has to mean I have about zero credibility at your house. Maybe it is so.
I hope the higher powers, and Barnack as well, forgive for wanting the lens to render a painting at short distance with a reasonably even sharpness over the frame.
