I have some questions here.
The MTF graph makes absolutely no sense, fullframe corner is at 21.6mm, not 12mm.
Apart from that the MTF look really really bad, how those translate into real pictures can also easily be seen in the sample images at 35mmc.
 

This is nowhere close to the MS-Optics 24mm 2.0 stopped down, which is fully usable at f/11 even in the very corners (on film and digital btw).

This 24mm f/11 is barely better than a pinhole lens.

It a $125 fixed aperture lens. It is what it is. This is a novelty lens and it is being marketed as such ("snapshot"). Some can find a use for it by exploiting its faults. Expecting good MFT graphs and technical sharpness for $125 is ridiculous.

I agree. Part of the problem is that the shots in the link discussed above

are horrible and seem to be designed to show how bad and pointless the lens is. I am sure it can be creatively used in other ways.
