The edge softness of a pre ASPH is something you see with an 11x14 prints.
Its not a problem for picture taking. People used them for years.
You can take a picture wide open and run it in the paper or magazine.
Its a different category of thing than the triplet in which the whole image
at the edges completely falls apart and you'd have to crop it off.
