Got the lens from Dream Merchant and took it for a spin as well as m43 outing last weekend. Sharing some shots here.

An aerial shot of esplanade from Level 33, MBFC. F6.3, 100mm, 1/1000s, ISO200.



100% Top left corner crop. Can't see vignetting at this aperture certainly.


100% center crop.

A few more (click on pic to see high res) :

62mm, 1/1600s, F6.3, ISO200


51mm, 1/50s, F5.6, ISO200


Bokeh testing @F2.8, 85mm.

Bokeh testing @F2.8, 85mm.

The sharpness is definitely there, but the top right area, the bokeh looks a bit weird.
