The uncorrected performance is supposed to be close to unmatched.

I'm stunned by the sharpness. You can *almost* pull a 200% crop out of the center. As a straight-forward 24mm lens, there may be lens corrections to be made. But once you start tilting and shifting, any automated corrections will be useless. You pretty much have to go manual. I over-compensated with that shot of the library and had to "push" the building back some. A 100% crop of that shot shows the very fine detail around the window frames. It really is amazing. And I'm surprised how easy it is to correct for converging verticals. As you turn the knob, you see the building straighten out. It's pretty cool.
