I have never used ANY wide angle lens on film (24mm equiv or wider) On ANY film format (35mm thru 8x10) that didn't have softer corners And edges than in the center. That is simply the nature/physics Of optics. Even the very best W.A. optics always perform better in the center if that is your "standard". The wider the lens (say 17 to 20mm equiv) The more pronounced the difference will be....I don't think this is A "fault" of FF DSLRS whatsoever.... JCO

Nate says that this is how wide-angle lenses behave on film bodies anyway, and he enjoys it because it is more of a film-like experience. He says that when he went from the 20D (8mp) to the 5D (12mp), he now had only 50% more pixels, but the frame was twice the size, so the performance of most of his lenses improved. I have been impressed with the output from the 5D, and I hope the other manufacturers follow suit eventually, but it's not enough to make me switch to Canon.
