This is honestly my first post here, but I wanted to share my experience with this lens and hopefully assuage some fears that the OP instilled.  Perhaps there is some extreme sample variation in their copy that I've not experienced, but my recent observation is directly in line with TDP's.

This is truly a remarkable piece of glass and - next to my TS-24 - one of the sharpest wide angles I have encountered and I even returned the 15-35  (mostly I wasn't needing 2.8).

Its light, takes standard filters, and produces crisp images corner to corner really at every focal length with the exception of some softness at 35 and f4.  The bokeh at .38 magnification is also such a plus which surprised me.

If the OP has these sort of issues with the profile from Lightroom (I assume) I noticed in direct comparison to DXO's profile that it performed better with more retained image and aberration correction than Lightroom.   Honestly I've been so happy with this lens and its ability to be a light and highly versatile walkaround landscape/architecture tour-de-force.  (until the rumored 14 tse comes of course)
