You're right, it's not a scientific test. As I recall it was a cloudy day and the light conditions very changing rapidly. If you watch the shots in Full Size,F5.6 still looks good. Anyway, I think the test shows that the lens is doing pretty well even at 2.8. I'll post test shots showing buidings, shortly. If it's desireable I don't know, it depends on the avaliable alternatives, sippose.

Looks a lot better @ 4.0 than @ 5.6, but, more interesting is that each shot is framed differently leading me to think that this test was not done on a tripod or that the camera was placed in a stable, steady manner. The very dark left side, which is lacking detail shown @ 4.0 and 5.6 makes me wonder about the exposure accuracy, although it may just be the substantial light falloff that's creating the effect. Overall, based on these pics, I'll stand by my comment that the lens is not very desirable.
