this weekend I picked-up my 40/2.8, which was reversibly adjusted to fit Sigma mount and allow exact infinity focusing...

here is first wide-opened shot (yes, it's a grave, but never mind...)

Beautiful image.

IMHO this is an underrated lens!
Sharp lens even wide open and has great colors.

I agree! It has very low lateral CA and axial CA isn't bad too, while the lens produce really sharp images stopped down. The only thing I'd change would be better close-up focusing (it allows 0.6m, while 0.4 or less would be more practical).
