FA77/1.8 Limited is extremely great in performance.
The resolving-power-thing seems because of its spherical
aberration. It actually has enough resolving power for
enlargement. Its scarce astigmatism and field flatness
are really impressive.
It also produces rich tone, great color rendition, smooth
and natural bokeh, and good contrast. And I must stress
its extraordinary 3-dimensional effect.
I love this lens overall.
The only flaw of this lens would be the inside reflection
of the lens barrel behind the front element, which causes
some kinds of flare in side-light situations. So you need
an effective hood for this lens.
Just my opinion.
