Lenstip finds the same, GTW.
...
Lenstip blames the very high come measurements for the weak resolution results at f1.4 and f2.
...
So maybe you are right, GTW. I have the suspicion that this lens may not deserve the high optical rating Markus have awarded it?
...
I might also point out that the Canon 35mm f1.4 did not excel in their (lenstip) test either, and it had a centering defect.

IMO both lenses are crap. The coma thing is probably the reason because I couldn't get a proper point of focus in the corner... it was really frustrating. The whole time I was checking them I was wondering whether the prices the manufacturers are charging are fair for the sorts of performance they give. Like Klaus said, maybe they're better at infinity... but who cares about shooting infinity at f/1.4 anyway?
