I just came across this lens and I have a few questions.
1) Is it sharp wide open ?
2) How does it compare to the 28-80 F3.5-5.6 FA AL ? (which I have at the
moment)
3) Are there any quirks I should be looking out for with this lens ?

That's true of blister packed parts, it's not liner when the part is

It might be that stitching together a number of smaller negatives is easier
and less expensive. Think of the gear the landscape photographer must
carry into sometimes difficult terrain - the size, the weight, and the
cost. With a DSLR every part of that equation is reduced, perhaps
I don't see why you wouldn't be using the whole
frame with LF. Yes there is plenty or leeway
for cropping with LF because of the superior
resolution, but I find I still mostly compose
using the given aspect ratio of the format.
Not only that, a lot of LF enthusiasts like to
do contact printing.
IT CANT for me. I KNOW. Like I said, I often have to wait
for a clearing of the clouds or the wind to settle or people
to get out of the way etc. If I had to stitch I might get
