Thanks.
While I'm not entirely satisfied with the sharpness of this lens, and this review just confirms what others found in the past, that this lens doesn't deserve the blue badge and the high price tag, I must say that your copy performs quite worse than mine. I've checked the Opera House photo and compared with other shots at 70mm and it's definitely much worse than my borders - while _a few_ of my shots have a comparable border degradation.
Putting this together with the statement by Sony, I conclude that they have a quite liberal tolerance for this lens.
PS "Sony E 10-22mm f4 OSS" should be "Sony E 10-18mm f4 OSS".
