Speaking of smeared corners, my favorite 28 is a lens that's gotten a lot abuse on these forums: a Schneider PC Super Angulon shift lens.
It's the best and worst lens I've used. I've had to learn to stay within its limitations, as far as shift and aperture. When I do the results are stunning. When I don't, there's terrible astigmatism in the far corners, and seriously acid trip-worthy color fringing.
My soon-to-be favorite lens will probably be the frighteningly priced 28mm f4.5 TS Super Angulon that's coming out later this year. If Scheider is doing more than recycling an old optic, this lens could give medium format digital freedom—ability to use wide apertures and to shift with near impunity.
