I forgot to mention that the image was focussed dead centre on one of the nail heads in the fence, it wouldn't surprise me at all that the focus across the frame differed, one lens is of course fully flat field corrected, the other suffers from pretty extreme spherical distortion. I used to use my A135/1.8 to shoot concerts but found practically that the Voigt wide open with the camera ISO set a stop faster provided far superior image quality to the A135/1.8 at 1.8 or 2.8, they weren't really on par until about f5.6.
