Astigmatism, understood as an average difference between vertical and horizontal MTF50 function values, amounted to 5.6% and it is a value on the borderline between very low and low levels. You can't have almost any reservations here, especially that we also didn't notice any significant differences between particular focal lengths.

Defocused circles of light look well, especially if you take into account the fact that you deal here with a zoom device. The performance remains beyond reproach because even the intensity of the outer rim is not big and mechanical vignetting disappears completely on stopping down the aperture by 2 EV.
