It's sharp, not as sharp as 55mm filter MD 24mm f2.8, but still sharp enough for me. |

thanks. i love sharp! the problem i had with the cv 15/4 was that it was 'mushy'. i am an unapologetic 'pixel peeper', and when i 'peep' i want to see clarity! what do you find is its optimal aperture? have you used it on digital?

If you want, I can take some tests tomorrow. Yes, I use it with my X-E1, but I prefer 24mm because of its focal length.  |
