Sharpness at 24mm
For this test, the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm f/1.8 ZA lens was attached to a Sony NEX-5N body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Exposure delay mode was activated. Tonal and colour variances across the crops are due to changes in natural light during the session.

Centre sharpness remains high through from f1.8 to f/11, with f/16 and f/22 being adversely affected by diffraction. The edges aren't nearly as sharp as the centre, with f4-8 producing the sharpest results.
