Cons: Plastic feeling. It is just a feeling, no real problems occured as per of its build quality. A bit useless angle of view on DX, but it is a matter of personal preferences.
Pros: Small, light. It has metal mount. Except of plastic feeling it is a good quality lens - I use id for 2 years and nothing has hapend to it. Amazingly sharp. It has a depth of field scale.
Summary: It is best used as short portrait lens. For other purposes it might be too long. This is one of the lenses I allways carry with me.
