next PZ Lens Test Report: Sony E 16mm f/2.8

The older lenses you mention, like the 24 F/2.8s of the OEMs, I am sure wil fare no better either. Those are older designs, and manufucatured a little more cheaply, so I'd expect them to perform more or less as they did in the past on film, namely, good, but generally not as good as their primary, professional counter parts (teh F/1.4 versions). The question is whether that is good enough or not. For many it will be. For the "thrill seekers" amongst us the F/2.8s probably are curiosities, and we would probably want better performance in one way or the other, or maybe even all (aperture, resolution, optical characteristics).

Yes, this was my main point/question. Actually my most-used/favourite lens on film was my SMC-K 24/2.8 (which was still small but not SMC-M 20/4 pancake small and since the NEX 16/2.8 is equivalent to a FF 24/4 that's why I compared it to the M20/4) and it was better than "good enough" for me. So, relative to our film reference, I wonder how bad the flaws of the NEX 16mm (on APS-C) or the VL20/3.5 (on FF) are. Until the time that "normal" wide-angles such 24/2.8 and 28/2.8 on FF results are available on PZ, it's hard to interpret the other wide-angles.
