At the widest focal length, corner sharpness improves continuously as lens is stopped down to f16. Center sharpness maxes out by f11. Chromatic abberation is quite noticeable in corners -- more so as the lens is stopped down and details come into focus (see concrete edge of building). Full-frame image below is greatly reduced from original shot at 1/80 @ f11.

f3.5 (maximum aperture)
