There isn't one, which is why I started this one back then. I don't think discussions in a picture thread are objectionable, either.
Good! Really feel like singing its praises, particularly because of the quality for the price.

Yes, the 50 AIR is sharp and the bokeh is not bad.
I hope your copy is OK: I had to send my back as an element was tilted. Sharp in the center, focused in front of the target to the left and behind to the right, quite severe.
I would love to have a good sample.
Sorry to hear that Jonas, I had some decentering with the 50mm APO, know how dissappointing it is and mine was mostly in the top left corner.
To not ruin my mood, I didn't do the FM decentering test but I did shoot a brick wall (though not at infinity) - just to know what to roughly expect at different apertures.
[ EDIT - I WAS IN CROP MODE WITHOUT REALISING LIKE A DUMBASS )
Seems okay even at f2, I didn't re-focus between apertures so I'll just show this one, didn't notice really a significant bump going up, maybe a little but it was just a quick test:
F2, 100%, left to right edge
Might possibly be a touch sharper on the right than the left, but could be my (or the wall's) angle since not at infinity. Or the contrast/colour of the bricks. Or my eyes. But I'm happy with this.
Possibly with the higher resolution of an A7CR I might be less so but I can't say.
