I see little value in sharing information that is anyway affected by variation in production runs. I had three Sigma 8mm here and each of them had different parameters but reported the same lens according to EXIF data. They were also different models.

So far we have not had the luxury of prioritizing specs - whoever is available and whatever they want to improve to Hugin, they are welcome. Yuv
