The XA-4 has serious light fall off at most (or all) apertures. You
don't need to worry about the A-16 can cover the 28mm or not, even a
T32 will not make it better.
Check this one out, it was shot with negative, slide will make it even
worse:

I bought the XA-4 since there was an essay in VisionAge that mentioned
the XA-4 has special lens design to improve the image peripheral
quality. I just wish it would be better than the XA since I found the
falloff in XA not quite acceptable. But unfortunately XA-4's falloff
is poor than the XA.
