Hi Bruce

I'll do my best thinking in my shoe boxes archiving system for prints 
and nothing for films. The improvement was substantial. Mind this lens 
is not a right choice for landscape but mostly is a fantastic tool for 
architectural pictures as far as you use a bubble level. In 
architectural purposes the falloff is less important. Better using a 
tripod, the mentioned level and close the diaphragm as much as possible.

Regards.

Felix
