$900 ain't cheap. . .for a soft lens, WTH?! confirmed my suspicions. . .

1/8, f3.5, 10mm
Perhaps my eyes aren't that good anymore, but this does not look soft to me.
^^^ My copy was definitely not that sharp...
Those corners at 3.5 are also way sharper than some of the tests show:

Here are some of my 10mm samples:
10mm @5.6...the whole left border is suffering from distortion/softness.

10mm @f/8...Left and right corners are distorted, left side mostly soft.

24mm is a bit sharper, but still not as sharp as it could be...

It was fine at 24mm, but 10mm was always soft somewhere, no matter what aperture I was at.
Oh, and the 35/1.8 is back in stock on Amazon.com...

Talking about lenses, did anyone review the 85mm 3.5? I know someone's mother received one in this forum and he did a quick review of it, but did any major online reviewers review it?
None yet. I ordered one, and should have it before the end of the week. I most likely wont do a full review for a few weeks though, I like to give a lens a month before I give any in depth comments.
It's in stock in Denmark :-) But it costs $283 + about $14 for shipping..
