That lens has a good reputation, but that is not the best test of such a lens.
Many old wide angles can give sharp results close-up in the center of the frame.
The real tests that bring out the quality differences are:
Corner sharpness and coverage (it shouldn't get fuzzy or dim in the corners, especially at infinity)
Sharpness at infinity or close to it
Distortion
