Let me recycle my post from the fave EP thread:

The 22mm LVW is brilliant. In f5 and f6, sharper near the edge than a 19mm Panoptic. Even Stu who is a big Pano fan agreed when we were comparing EPs at the recent Snake Valley camp. The Pano might be sharper on axis, but given the difference in magnification, it's hard to say. I used to own the 21mm Stratus (LVW clone) and the original 22mm is a lot better at f6. (OTOH I found the 8mm LVW very similar to the 8mm Stratus on after a quick look.)

Mike, I wish we could have compared with the 22mm Pano, but Stu sold his.
