Cropped, obviously, since this lens doesn't fully cover the sensor.

Can you please post uncropped, since there might be fellows willing to see how much it vignettes actually?
Can you please post photos of the lens itself?
Lens seems to perform very well near the center!

Yes, I think it performs well. It is sharp when in focus, and the bokeh is nice.

Uncropped version of the same photo:

Thanks for sharing! This looks like a gem of a lens, despite the vignetting.

That first sample looks like it has a lot of haze, is that just because of the photo or because of the lens instead?

What do you mean?

Maybe just saying soft as in the lens results would be a more appropriate description.

Well, this was shot at 1/15 sec so you're probably just referring to my shaky hands

Also this was shot in tricky natural light. My kitchen is pretty dark and there's a very bright window just a little bit to the left of the frame. I might have also misfocused a little (hey, i'm a beginner...).

Yeah, I suppose you're right now that I look at it again. Maybe I was just a little too hazy when I posted it.
