A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality.

Here's the usual detail test shot of the West Window of Exeter Cathedral, for you to compare with other cameras. See below for a full res crop, or click to see the whole picture.
Compression artefacts and excessive sharpening have reduced the level of visible detail, a shame because the lens is capable of better results.
There is very little barrel distortion at wide angle.
Centre sharpness is good, although some of that is due to artificial sharpening.
There is some chromatic aberration, but corner sharpness is pretty good too.
