Can anyone with this lens confirm that the corners are this bad? I'm quite surprised by these results of the 50mm, after all the praise it's received.

I just sold my Rollei HFT 1.8/50, it wasn't a bad lens but I felt it was inferior to both my 1.8/50 Konica Hexanon and 1.8/55 Petri CC Auto in sharpness and colour rendition, didn't see anything great about it and no reason to keep it with all the other 50s I have. My copy was mint, like new.

I have a couple of the HTF's...sorry, no samples in digital. I like it with film, and give it high marks for certain conditions. I'm keeping one of the two (both in near mint condition). I want to try it with the Nex 7, in the future. I think that it might make a fine portrait lens with the crop factor. I don't see a noticeable drop off in edge sharpness, or any problems that often occur with lenses. I'd say that it is a very good lens over-all. But I agree with Ian. The Konica 40mm f1.8, and 50mm f1.7 are two incredible lenses for resolution and colors, etc.

This was second-tier stuff, never highly thought of. Some of it was made in Singapore, I believe.

Used to have the 50 and still have the 28 - both lenses perform very nicely, the 50 even a tad better IMHO.

Funny thing is that i'm clearly seeing the 50mm to be superior in everything in this test !!!
The 28 is a f2.8 lens and I start to compare it to the 50 from f2.8 ofcourse !!!
Guys ... check again 
(it is not a standard MTF test anyway)

Welcome, Lord Minty.
Your first post can't contain a link or picture, it's an anti-spam measure. From now on your links/pics will work fine.
Your link does work in my quote above.
Nice closeup shots on your flickr, flowers and bugs are great but it's nice to see some variety
