Corner sharpness is as good as I'd expect from this lens. Stopped down they appear ok, so I think softness in the corners is a lens issue rather than a sensor one. I have to admit I haven't done any real tests.

Here's a full frame... So Steve, What do you use for a good WA lens on the 5D since the wide R lenses can't be used ? I think the 35 is OK, but not any of the wider R lenses. I have a 24 R but from what i have heard it is not possible. I have heard the Canon WA's are not all that good corner to corner. What about their wa zooms? gene -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.361 / Virus Database: 267.12.4/146 - Release Date: 21/10/2005
