Actually it has been discussed here;
as well as elsewhere;
with extensive tests of most of the R wide range.
Sony still exhibits problems with many wides from Leica R, M and other Mfg.
While some Mfgs apparently work beautifully - all depends on how the lens 
was designed.

I'm thoroughly amazed (and delighted) that the M Monochrom
delivers edge to edge, corner to corner sharpness
with the Voigtlander 15 mm Helios Aspherical.
Makes for an extremely compact, extreme wide, high quality image package
