Dpreview 17mm samples and X10 hands-on.

[shoplink 34914]

[/shoplink] Dpreview (Click here) just posted the 17mm f/1.8 image samples. Better late than never :)  There is no review yet but they do write: “We haven’t had to opportunity to test the image quality in detail but, while not as sensationally sharp as the 45mm F1.8 and 75mm F1.8 lenses, the 17mm appears to do pretty well and with neither corner sharpness nor distortion showing much to be concerned about.”
And also Amazon lens buyers seem to like the lens. The first six user reviews are quite positive (Click here to read them).
