I own a comparable lens the 1,8/28 Sigma lens, not the newest version. Also
some other MF, LF and 35mm wide angle gear, e.g. 2.8/20-35mm Tokina, 2.8/28
Canon, 2.8/24mm Olympus (Super Angulon 5.6/65, Mamiya 4.5/43). All the 35mm
wide angle lenses have at aperture 2.8 significantly lesser vignetting than
the 2.0/35 Olympus.
I didnt compare tele design with modest wide angle design. I like Olympus
for their Macro equipment (4.5/135, 4.0/80).

You know of the german 'nickname' CloFo and its meaning?

Not at open aperture!
Theoretical a strong curved front of the lens causes higher reflection at
average as a plane front element at the edges.
My rule of thumb was, i can use my 2.8/24 at full aperture with compromises,
but i have to stop down for two or more with the 2/35 lens. Even with b&w
films i avoided available light shooting with my 2/35.

looking for an achromat (1.2-2.5x) for the 4.0/80mm lens.
