Cons: There is no cons, dot. Not for the price. At all.
Pros: Very sharp starting from 1.8 - you just gotta be careful when playing with depth of field, great built, "big hole in there") Indeed, a very nice lens. People who say it's weak wide open just got a bad sample or ain't know how to use it wide open.
Summary: Buy it and start laughing at those who hasn't)))
