The sharpness is actually great. And even on other sides it's a great lens. Though on an italian photography forum there was a couple of guys saying that the the out of focus rendition of this lens wasn't good mainly cause they saw exagons in some shoots

First picture is perfect IMHO.
For this type of photos sharpness isn't the most important thing, more important is the smooth and rich transition of tones and your Tak delivers plenty.

Granted, this is at f/8, but this is very sharp, to my eyes!
Taken with the 55/2, but that is technically the same lens as the 55/1.8 |
