Still loving mine..
I agree with the comments above - as I originally noted there are strong field effects but they can be ameliorated (for which read pretty much negated) by careful placement of the POF and they offer the possibility of great shots where the edges contain foreground and the centre contains distance.
I shot an aperture series, linked above, that shows what mine does and gives pretty clear indications of how therefore to use it for differing purposes but I do think that it is important to be aware of what lens corrections can do to the mid-field sharpness, and to accept that sample variations mean that every owner will need to asses their own copies.
I am about to take this lens away on a longish trip and will shoot with it quite a bit so I am sure it will now bite me in the a*s!
