I have no F2.8 wide angles anymore, my test done on film in the pass shown
21/3.5 perform very close to 21/2 when stopped down to F8. 21/3.5 was better
at the corner and 21/2 better at center.
For my sample of 50/1.4 (1.09M) and 24/2 silver nose, the result are very
similar at around 1:40 at F8. For distance objects, among my samples of
21/2, 24/2 and 28/2, 24/2 is the best.
