And Arnold wrote that FA 20/2.8 can't match DA 21 until f8 si it seems that DA21 is really fantastic lens. Maybe it was not too fortunate to use JPEG straight from Ds, but it is evident that quality in the corners is similar to center even when wide open and no signs of CAs(!!!) Together with DA 40 and DA 70 it will be a very nice set of ultra small and light high quality lenses for DSLR all with the same 49 mm filter size.
