After the fog.

Hello Joseph!

Some years ago I had the opportunity to compare a Canon FDn 28mm f/2,8 and a Minolta MC Rokkor 28mm f/2,8. (Using my Sony NEX-7)

To get the Canon corners to be as sharp as the Minolta corners at f/2,8, I had to stop the Canon down to f/8. Just to make sure I repeated the comparison.

Being quite a few years newer, I believe your Minolta AF 28mm f/2,8 is even sharper than the MC 28mm f/2,8.

Your picture made me think of "Fog On The Tyne" and then, due to the season, "Winter Song" by Lindisfarne.  Thank you!

Regards
