I don't think it's anywhere near the high quality of the Bow Wow Tak 20mm. The Spiratone lenses I've come across in my life were all very soft. I haven't used all of them by any means, so this one may be different. You may want to submit the info for your lens to the folks that run this website: http://people.smu.edu/rmonagha/third/table1.txt they don't include it in their table of third party lenses.
