I don't use this lens often enough.

Wide open, no PP sharpening, just some levels.

Even wide open @2.4, very nice.

What are the 'sweet' spots that you have found with this lens?

Knock it up a touch - from just above 2.8 through to 5.6 it's perfect. f/4 would be a great default if the scene permits it.

Here is a bit of a fun and cheaty one:

I realise it's not exactly the most exciting image, but it is actually a stitched composite of 10 images all taken with my 35mm f/2.4 and then recombined with PTAssembler. I then had to crop liberally post assembly because of some banding of the sky at the seams, so it's now down to a meagre 55MP image (10k wide x 5.5k high), which can be downloaded from here:

So, a very wide-angle 35mm shot, really. At medium format resolution. It does make zooming in and pixel peeping a bit more interesting. (EXIF data not available but all shots taken at 1/2000s, f/5.6 ISO200 and focus set more or less to hyperfocal distance (plus a touch))

A few examples:

Cropped for pano:

f/11, 1/80s, iso 100

Look how the detail is good even on background plane.
f/3.2, 1/4000, iso 100

A night scene:
f/2.4, 1/50, iso 1250
