Agreed. My primary concern wouldn't be the resolution as much as the build quality. I own the 8mm FE, the 14 2.8, and the 35 1.4. They're all very sharp stopped down and the 35 is even pretty sharp wide open. But the LR writer is correct when he says Roki's are essentially throw away lenses. At least, the primes are. At $200-$400, if they break badly and can't be fixed, get a new one. But the TS at $1000 is hardly in that category. I look forward to further testing in the hands of trusted reviewers like Bryan.
