The same can be said for the DA14. It is sharp even wide open, but it achieves it's best sharpness across the field around f/4-5.6. Test examples at a variety of lens openings @ http://homepage.mac.com/godders/14mm-examples/
BTW, I did test the DA14 with the Pentax MX. It nicely covers a 24x24 negative, producing a field of view much like a Hasselblad SWC.
