... and quoting his words: "and this is one of the very few times I've been disappointed".
He sent back the first copy, but the second performed just as the first. I hoped that quality problems were affecting only the first batches of the product, but it doesn't seem so. If it's not a quality problem, to me it's just not a 900 € lens - corner performance seems to match my Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm ƒ/3.5-4.5 that costs four times less.
I hoped to close by the end of the year my Sony evaluation, but I have to re-open the file... sigh.
