Thanks for the replies so far, and please keep 'em coming.
My test unit has a string of blobs near the center (most people seem
to report them "near the center" for what it's worth). They are
noticeable at f/8 and smaller when photographing a blank surface; I
suspect in real photographs (with plenty of detail) they should
*maybe* be noticeable at f/11 and onwards. I rarely photograph at such
apertures, but I can imagine people shooting landscapes would be
annoyed to find these blobs in their blue skies. Then again, a blob in
a blue sky is easy to clone out. Then again, again, we'd all prefer
not to have to clone out blobs as part of our postprocessing.
