SHARPNESS: Very Good: I was surprised and delighted to see levels of sharpness akin to the more expensive ZD7-14mm.

CORNERS: Very Good to excellent: to me there was no loss of sharpness in the corners on relatively close subjects. Corner sharpness will drop a tad on longer shots though - inevitable with UWA's

CONTRAST: Very Good - contrasty enough, but not over-done.

COLOUR RENDERING: Excellent: accurate, slightly warm but no major issues here.

RESOLUTION: Very good to excellent; bearing in mind its 'budget' status this lens competes very well.

CHROMATIC ABBERRATION: There is a touch of CA (PF) on areas having high contrast areas. Nothing dramatic.

BARRELLING: Average at 9mm, excellent at 18mm: This is a wide angle lens and as such is prone to a bit of barrel.

FLARE: I did not find flare an issue but I did not take off the hood. I'd expect flare when the sun hits the lens periphery.

HANDLING: Good, smooth zoom, manual focus the same as all Fly By Wire ZD's.
