If this and other IQ points were true, I guess this could become a great astro lens.

Personally, I haven't learned yet to work well with anything wider than 24 mm FF eq.
So maybe I won't be in the market for this one.

I got mine more than a month ago in Denmark (Dec 11th).
Haven't had the chance to use it much yet though.

It seems like the wider the angle (ultra-wide) the more difficult it becomes. I read your post and think I know what you mean. I collect old m42 lenses, mostly Takumars. The widest I have is 28mm. I'd really like a 24mm and a 15mm. I just haven't found I need them. Of course, collecting isn't about need, I guess.

However, if this was a ff lens, I might bite. I have an R. Not sure it has a crop mode. If it does, the price is right.
