I just came back from a short trip to Berlin, where I tried out my newly acquired Flektogon with Nikon mount. All pictures were shot with f8, converted from RAW (NEF) to jpeg, whitepoint set, otherwise untouched.
Pictures No.1 and Nr.2 at 320 ISO, Nr.3 at 1250 ISO. I obviously didn't focus well enough in No.2, but I still like it.

Hi Seymore, you are correct about picture two. The left side is definitely too soft.
In picture one I cannot detect any vignetting, and in picture two it may be a blur of a person moving out of the picture - or one of my fingers. I don't see much vignetting in the other pictures I took. Here are two more:

In this one there is some vignetting in the upper right corner, if I'm not mistaken:

I have to correct myself: the pictures from the train-station were shot at f5.6, the others at f8

Here are three more.
The first two show the Martin-Gropius-Bau, a huge building, which is very well suited for big exhibitions. At the time I was there, there was vast exhibition of fotos by the German photographer Rolf Lebeck, definitely worth a visit. The second picture has of course been photoshopped.
The third shows one of the many and picturesque backyards of Berlin.
