Well, my personal opinion on this is that they shouldn't release such a lens if it does not perform according to its nature. A prime lens must have advantages over a zoom lens after all. Heck, Sony has released a wide-angle converter for it and I don't really want to imagine the performance level of this combo!

Maybe my other wide angle, the Minolta 24/2.8, is a bad sample but for example [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cemarbu/4846742979/sizes/o/in/photostream/"]this test shot[/url] looks usable to me. I have not that big expectations for wide angles because I never have seen really sharp wide angles like my CZ 85. Maybe I should try the Voigtlanedern 12 mm. ;-)
