Has anyone received a soft copy of this lens? I got mine today (for my new-to-me M10M) and I'm not seeing anywhere near the sharpness shown in this review, to the point of suspicion.
Have you checked your copy for centering? Could you share a sample image that shows the softness you're describing?
I'll get a a couple together. I also need to do a decentering test. I need to test more to be thorough before I blame the copy of the lens and not some other factor (like me, or the M10M).
The other hazard, I realize, is that the Q3 has completely spoiled me and my expectations for sharpness.
Another factor could be that the lens isn't perfectly calibrated to your rangefinder, which might indicate a misalignment in either the camera or the lens. It's best to test using LiveView to confirm.
Good advice. I've been using LV for the tests and that may have something to do with it. Unfortunate if so, because the camera was serviced in August. I am hoping to borrow another lens from a friend this weekend to test against.
I just did a centering test and that aspect seems ok:
