28mm f3.5 - Full frame

Sharpness does fall off a bit in the corners at full aperture but it’s not drastic. Colour fringing is very noticeable on some high contrast areas.Distortion levels are low and even at full aperture there’s little darkening in the corners.

Full Aperture

Sharpness is quite good - there’s a very slight softness about the image but nothing serious - a little sharpening soon takes care of that. Lots of fine detail is recorded and overall, images look good. The only downside is some very noticeable CA - colour fringing on high contrast borders especially near the edges of the frame.
