Bob,
>From Gary Reese's testing:
Kiron 28mm f/2 MC (multi-coated)
OM-4 with mirror and aperture prefire
Vignetting = B- @ f/2, A- @ f/2.8, A @ f/4
Distortion = none
Aperture Center Corner
f/2 C+ C
f/2.8 B+ B
f/4 A- A
f/5.6 A- A
f/8 A- A-
f/11 A- B+
f/16 B+ B+
Notes: Very cool image; moderately high contrast, except moderately low
at f/2.

My own non-scientific evaluation is that it is as sharp as my
(silver-nose) 85 f/2. I don't have the proper hood for it, so I use a
Zuiko 35 mm f/2 hood.
This is yet another reason why I will eventually burn in hell.
