Thanks so much, now I think, I remember! 
 

Unfortunately I mixed inches up with cm and thought that he used a quite small dome. But now more than ever I understand the quality and usability of the 28-60 with WACP-C. 
 

I‘ll stay with my system. 

I think that WACP or rectilinear WA lenses is not the same niche, but it complements each other. Both have their applications...

That’s correct the important part is where the lens is wider than 74 degrees on the horizontal which is the zoom range between 28 and 40 mm
Once you are competing with 24-70mm zoom you are in dead zone as there are plenty of sharper options
In fact you may even argue that from 32mm you are getting some serious competition from rectilinear lenses
The WACP is a contender to lenses in the 12-16 range where a rectilinear lens looks generally ugly at close range even topside outside this range there is plenty of other choices

@BobbyV corner sharpness with a lens / combo with this will always have some kind of compromise that you'll need to deal with. I always shoot with this in mind and work within the constraints of my gear if I can. @fruehaufsteher2 There is no fisheye visible at all. I've attached 2x images un-cropped. The reefscape (16mm) has the tiniest bit of softness in the very corners if you look really hard. Not enough to even be noticeable when printed. The anemone shot some would consider "soft", however if you look closely, you'll notice it's actually out of focus areas due to the focal plain and close focus of a 35mm shot. This was captured at f13, so I could have stopped down further if this was an issue, but I don't believe it is, seeing as the fish are the focus of the capture. Looking closely at the bottom right of this image, you can see that the corner of the frame with the anemone is only slightly soft.

Those images look quite good to me those shots are not exactly what you get a lens like this for anyway
