As far as coma is concerned the behavior is similar to the chromatic aberration. At 135-200 mm coma is almost invisible. At 70 mm it increases a bit, which could cause poorer picture resolution.

The astigmatism is very well controlled. We measured its level of 5.7% and the astigmatism was the largest at 70 mm, medium at 200 mm and the smallest at 135 mm focal length.
