Soft wide open even in the center of the frame. At f8, still soft in the center. Better copies of the lens give a decent sharpness wide open in the center, but does not extend to the edges. My first copy, even with 10 set as a lens adjustment in the camera, did not produce any sharpness from the lens at all. Second copy was slightly better. I was not going to try a third, but thought one more try and i am done. Now, reasonable sharpness wide open in the center of the frame, and it does a fairly good job now at f8 for the entire frame. If i was doing it again, i would probably go with the 12-24, or the 14.
