Aperture Series: Wyman Cabin Exterior (M240)
This scene is shot at close range and with a central subject. The 18/3.8 SEM has some edge weakness at distance due to a propensity for forward field curvature, and this can be seen here in how it delivers sharpness near to far along the edges.
Compare to the 24/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH on the same scene.
