The only one thats really sharp is the 50mm F1.8.  The 28 mm rates as one of Rockwells worst 10 lenses

The 100/2.8 is also good, and I used the 75-150/3.5 for years with good results. Maybe Ric got a bad one?

Mine is not so bad as Ric describes. A little under par compared with  the 35-70/3.3 version.
