Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital (more info?)

Has anyone ever run across any lens (outside of very long ones,
exceeding f10 focal ratios) that performs best wide open? In other
words, the residual aberrations don't decrease noticeably upon stopping
the lens down.
If so, what lens, and what camera was it used with?

The super telephotos from Nikon and Canon work superbly
wide open, and do not change much when stopped down.
E.g. 500 mm f/4, 600 mm f/4.

85mm Pentax F1.4 is amazing and has been tested on a 5D and compared to the
Canon 85mm F1.2 at F1.4, the Pentax was sharper, gotta be happy with that??
I posted the link a week or two back.
