Light vignetting wide open, very slight chromatic aberration, very slight distorsion, Very sharp performance from wide open. Superb mechanical quality.
Rating: 5/5
FA 43
Very slight vignetting, chromatic aberraton a bit high but reasonable from a non digital lens, well controlled distorsion.
OK wide open and very good rom f/2.8. Excellent from f/4 and up.
If you don't need brighter than F/2.8, DA40 is a better deal.
Rating: 5/5
FA77
Slight vignetting, very slight chromatic aberration, no distorsion. Very sharp from wide open but not homogenious (center a lot better than corners), homogenious from f/4 and up.
Again, if you don't need the light, the DA70 is better deal.
Rating: 4/5
DA18-55II
Sensible vignetting at 18mm but well controlled at other focals. Heavy chromatic aberration at 18mm, moderate at 23 and well controlled upward (well don they say). Heavy distorsion at 18mm, negligable only between 25 and 40mm.
Sharpness globally good through the range. Very nice kit lens but they regret absence of SDM.
