Well, the MTF from canon certainly looked promising, and PZ has pretty much confirmed it, razor sharp centres wide open and slightly better again stopped down a bit. I'd be a bit concerned about stop-down-focus-shift, but from f/2.8 to f/4 at anything normally framed (like 2+ metres away), that's going to be a non-issue.
Now the real dilemma, next time I want to take out the Nodal Ninja for some spherical panoramae at f/5.6, do I take the pancake or the Samyang?
An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.

Have just been looking at the ISO charts for this lens. To say that I'm surprised is an understatement. While I wouldn't use the "Razor Sharp" term it is very good for such a low cost lens.
OK Canon, does this mean a new Pancake family?
