The new to me Pentacon 135/2.8:

Right out of the box. Almost SOOC. Just a tad of sharpening since I've
set the JPGs on the 1D2 to be on the soft side and downsizing so that
your screens won't explode.

it is indeed a bit soft. To me the sharpest area was the pipe, just
right of center.

That was the focus point... The subject was tilted sideways so nothing
else was to expected at the shallow DOF you get with a 135 at 2.8 but
the same sharpens can be found in the strings of the venetian blind,
just to the left.

I'll let it meet the target at later date when I've got time and the
light is right.

At least my eyes haven't gone completely. Enjoy the lens.

Largest shift from soft to sharpness I've seen recently is an old Canon 58mm
f/1.2. Very soft with SA wide-open, but exceedingly sharp stopped down to
f/5.6.

In pre AF days large apertures was mainly intended to facilitate
focusing... But sharpness in the center at wide apertures could of
course be used creatively while taking portraits and such. I think that
Peter needs more eye surgery, BTW...
