Specs:

Lens:
35mm

Aperture:
f/2.8 to f/16
8 bladed aperture

Focus:
Infinit to 0.4m (1,3ft)

Mount:
Nikon F-mount

Image quality

Wide open have good center sharpness but gets soft fairly fast towards the corners.
The corner softness is quite gradual and I don't feel it that imposing but some is still there at f/11.
Also have a quite noticeable vignetting wide open.
