    Cons: strong vignetting and field curvature at F2.8, rapidly improves when stopped down, best at F8.0-11.0 somewhat nervous bokeh - but better than any zoom may flare

    Pros: on 5Dmkii clearly wins from Zuiko 28 (corner sharpness and distortion), EF17-40L (corners, distortion, CA), Nikon 28/2.8 Ai (contrast, center sharpness, color reproduction), EF24-105L (field curvature, corners, distortion, CA), Color-Skoparex 35/2.8 (sharpness), Distagon 25/2.8 (corners)

    Summary: my favorite wide angle equals C/Y Planar 1.7/50 in sharpness, great contrast, little distortion, very little CA, beautiful colors, good corners when stopped down

    Cons: (on a D800) Some lateral CAs in the corners, not too bad though. Corners on full frame a bit soft, needs to be stopped down for good results. Noticable field curvature. Vignetting rather high when open.

    Pros: (on a D800) Very sharp and good contrast in the center. Very low distortion. Small, light weight. Flare rather low, you can shoot straight into the sun. Overall rather low CA.

    Summary: Small, cute wide angle lens that even works nicely on full frame. Should be stopped down a bit for good results.

    Pros: Perfect normal focal length on aps-c. Great sharpness, low distortion on crop. Good sharpness on fullframe. Compact.

    Summary: A fine lens for use on Canon xxDs.
