7. Coma, astigmatism and bokeh

We complained about distortion, but we are going to praise coma correction for a change. Even in corners of full frame and at the maximum relative aperture diode images don't show almost any deformations. It seems coma has a negligible influence on worsening of image quality on the frame edges.

Astigmatism, understood as an average difference between vertical and horizontal MTF50 function values, amounted to 4.5 %. It's a very low value, not giving you any reasons to worry.

Defocused circles of light look sensibly well. You can notice a slight trace of onion-ring bokeh and it stems from the fact that there is one aspherical element inside the optical stystem. On stopping down the aperture a rim appears on the edge of the circle but it is not especially intense. Mechanical vignetting is visible at the maximum relative aperture and on stopping down the lens by 1 EV; by f/5.6 it disappears completely.
