Oddly enough I have a copy of the June 1977 Modern Photo review of this lens. 
To summarize the resolution tests at 24mm it got 5 out of 12 excellents, at 
32mm it got 6 out of 10 excellents, and at 40mm it got 6 out of 10 
excellents. Contrast was medium to low at most apertures however.The sharpest 
apertures appear to be f 8 and 11 at all focal lenghts tested. Feel free to 
contact me off line if you want a copy of the review.
