The daisies look really sharp, though it's hard to be sure with a small
image.
It is a very sharp lens, but it's not particularly well corrected (ie. it's
not APO). You can see for yourself if you like in this full jpg of a test
shot I made this morning, file size around 7 MB:

Same setup as the daisies, stopped down to f/11. It has been sharpened in
Lightroom.
I didn't buy this lens for its sharpness, but it's a nice bonus. I wanted
the large aperture and transparency to shorter wavelengths than the eye can
see. The bokeh on full opening is amazing, and it renders high-contrast
gradients in a very peculiar way. That was particularly visible when used
with the 645D, so I'll be looking into options for making a mount for that
system too.
Btw, I made a GIF animation of the DOF from full opening to f/22, if
anyone's interested.
