And the actual surface doesn't lie either, with there being a pretty big turned down edge. I'd be interested to see an actual star test though! Congrats on your purchase!

Well spotted Logan with the mirror. However, I would argue that for a lens made of glass with refractive index of 1.5, the RoC = exactly focal length - it is not a mirror after all. Also, if we use the stated rms to calculate Strehl with well known formula, we will arrive at about 0.993. PV error of 1/8.8 is pretty good for a lens I would say. Not sure where do you see big turned down edge either
