Distortion galore:

Other first impressions: build quality is ok, AF is a bit on the slow side.

Hi Markus,
other tests claim that distortion was sacrificed for sharpness. Can you confirm? Can you measure how much resolution is lost on the borders when correcting for distortion? It would be very intersting to know whether it makes sense to optimize a lens exclusivly for shapness and disregard distortion. If little resolution is lost on software correction it would be a great compromise
Thanks.
