Sharpness at 35mm
Our sharpness tests were conducted using a Sony A7 III body mounted to a tripod. The camera’s shutter release was also set on a timer-delay to avoid any possible camera shake. The test subject was shot using ambient lighting, hence some colour and contrast variation is to be expected between apertures.
The full frame at 35mm
Centre sharpness is impressively high throughout almost the entire aperture range, with peak performance between f/2-f/16. Corner sharpness isn't quite as good, producing optimal sharpness at f/4-f/16.
