To tell you the truth, I cannot recall the last time I used any lens
except the FA*400/5.6 at full opening.

Don,
1. In the photoshop settings, set "units & rulers" to show as pixels.
Then you can use the info pane to gauge the exact size of your
selection. Once the size of the selection is right, it's easy to
position the "marching ants" to match your previous selections.
Actually I discovered this method while preparing this page. If you
look at the first set of crops, they're not of equal size.
After doing one ny just aiming, I realised I had to be more
systematic...:-)
2. No. I was shocked to see how poorly it performed. I think I might
have to repeat the exercise for this lens with all apertures.
Looks like a severe case of tripod trauma. 8-) The example I borrowed
a few years ago was always an excellent performer - I suspect you
would have noticed a problem such as this if it was not an occasional
aberration.

An excellent comparison Jostein, much more 'scientific' than mine.
