Would you consider such lens as healthy? It produces really good center sharpness even wide-open but it's quickly lost toward the edges.
The hand at F4, the fence at F2.8.

I had several Sigma lenses and they all show this problem, some more some less: centre sharp, sharpness fall at the edges. Evidently they know that most people is happy when the subject (usually in the centre) is well sharp, and don't mind much about the edges. They make low cost lenses, and correction of the edges is where they obviously cut corners in the budget. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Nope, earlier YS type. I was asking not complaining. Since i am not into landscape photography i like sweet spots lenses. But it would be better suited for APS-C. _________________ ---------------------------------

I have just found it in gallery submitted as Prakticar 2.8/24mm:

Edges soft too, but it's still pretty nice and useful. _________________ ---------------------------------
