Hi Mike,Tim, in case it might be useful, here's a couple full size images from my GM at ƒ4.0.

Than you for sharing, that is much appreciated.
It's hard to see exactly what's going on there without being sure what the POF was but if I assume that it was intended to be the facade of the building centre, then it does look to me slightly softer on the right at 35mm though not as bad as what I am seeing. However, testing on the same scene with the different copies of the lens would be the only way to find out :-(
At 70mm, is there any chance that the lens was spoofed into focussing on the black pole foreground centre? It looks in better focus than the distant range of buildings. That could even be the case with the 35mm frame too, since the tip of that pole is dead centre and the DOF would have made it hard to tell.
