Even with landscapes I'd often say it's the center (as long as we define the center as not being a small part of the overall image, that matters. A little vignetting and a little corner softness can help bring the eye to the subject. Architecture and some kinds of macro work is probably where sharpness across the frame most matter. I used to be fussed about corner to corner sharpness but I've grown to realize it's mostly (there are exceptions) not so important. Maybe I got a good copy but I find the IQ from the 14 pretty darn good. Definitely better in the center wide open, and not in the same league in terms of pure detail as lenses like the O75, or O60, or PL25. But it's capable of producing very nice images and is a pleasure to use.
