Request: WATE focal lenght comparison pictures

Hello all, I am still a bit in doubt to get a WATE.

Mainly because the narrow gap between the focal lengths.

Could somebody please post 3 pictures of the same object taken at the 3 focal lengths?

Or alternatively point me to a post where these already might be online?

 

I have seen pictures of different objects but never of the same in the 3 focal lenghts.

 

Thank you

On Feb 1 I posted this but I don't know if the download is still operating. On the webpage, at the bottom you can see the change in cropping of the different lens focal lengths; it is pretty minimal but still useful especially with tight interiors:

 

Many people had been requesting information about the performance of the WATE, especially with and without "lens recognition." I compared it to the Nikon 12-24. I did not have a 486 for the WATE. I put in a 24 with a 486 (it is mislabled as 24 WATE) and it highlights a problem of cyan shading that appears more distracting than the vignetting of the lenses without "lens recognition". All images are "straight" with no sharpening or other additives, photo-manipulation or straightening, etc.

 

I put these tests in a downloadable proof sheet of the WATE at various apertures both with and without "recognition" at http://www.yousendit.com/download/KU...2FbWx5TA%3D%3D

 

I also put resolution tests--again with no additives--at 100% crop, here:
