Just had my first roll of 15/3.5 pictures back. The first thing I have noticed is, they aren't very sharp (maybe I should redo the test on cloudy day). Okay, I knew the Pentax one is the least sharp of all 15mm (Zeiss, Leica, Nikkor), but do these picture look okay (I reckon the actual films are sharper than scans)? They were taken with Konica Centuria Super 100, and scanned by Minolta Scan Elite F-2900 (2820dpi).

Also, this short test shows f11 seems to be the optimal aperture. f3.5 is pretty bad on sharpness, f5.6 is okay, but certainly not good. Manual focusing is next to impossible without the magnifier because everything appears so small (right everybody has been saying that everything will be in focus virtually, but it doesn't seem to be the case to me).
