Brand new, picked up from the shop today.

Thanks for the samples.

As expected due to the small size, the barrel distortion is massive, and has some complexity to it, so simple distortion tools won't fix it...we'll have to wait for the profile to use it outside DPP for architecture.  However, we all new this going in.

Optically it doesn't look bad at all given the size and price.  Not amazing wide open, but sharp in the central portion, which should allow to use it for closer subjects with a bit of isolation.  Stopped down it looks pretty good.  not amazingly pin sharp in the corners, but excellent over most of the frame, and decent at the edges.  I think this will do very nicely for such a compact lens.  I hope mine comes in today.
