Phase/Mamiya 35mm f/3.5 Digital lens feedback?

[2jbourret]

Has any one spent enough time using the new Phase/Mamiya 35mm to give feedback or impressions of the lens?

Edge/corner sharpness of the older versions was always a minus, and CA was strong in the old MF versions.
Is this version substantially better, or is ti just a re-packaging of the old optical design?

Thanks, that helps. I'll probably stick w/ my N version, as it is decent. Doesn't sound like the new version is any great improvement.

Its certainly better than the 3 previous versions I had of this lens. Even with a FF sensor i get very nice corners. I'm very pleased with it and in corner tests looked really good at F8

On the other hand, there are a few of the previous version that perform as well or better than some samples of the new version, so check out what you receive carefully.

I am holding on to my previous version 35mm
