I trust no zoom wider than f/8 but I'll go f/2.8 with a prime if need be.

The f/8 is a good rule of thumb.

Full aperture, on the other side, is hardly the sweet spot of the lens, unless it is the expensively corrected L-series profi lens.

Central sharpness might be good, anyway, the border sharpness less (maybe

non-distracting or welcome), but the main problem could be the chromatic aberation.
