  The current issue of Pop Photo (Aug '98) happens to have a test of the
"normal" lens for the new AF Pentax 645. The results published in
lines per mm.

                               Resolution
                
                  F/      Center          Corner
                  
                  2.8      55 (Exc)        42 (Exc)

                  4        50 (Exc)        41 (Exc)

                  5.6      45 (VG)         41 (VG)

                  8        63 (Exc)        44 (Exc)

                  16       63 (Exc)        45 (Exc)

                  22       50 (Exc)        40 (Exc)

   They describe this lens as: "A superb normal lens"...hope this
helps with your question.
