Cons: Exterior texture, 77mm filter, front or back focus sometimes, soft borders (manly in full frame).

Pros: Accessible "PRO" wide angle, sharp when in focus, good look (with distance window), comes with case and lens hood.

Summary: Itīs a good lens for landscapes or street or even at home or studio with good flash light. It produces good images but not always.Sometimes it is difficult to have a sharp shot with flash at f/2,8 or f/4. In full frame I think it is very soft.

Cons: Light falloff, not really f/2.8 @ 17mm, not that sharp wide open, bulky, HSM focus system is vulnerable and not that accurate, mine kept making weird sound for about 3 months, then it stopped, a friend of mine had the same "feature" but in the end the focusing stopped working!

Pros: Well build & damped, very cheap secondhand, not bad distortions, covers FF, skip on DX, gets sharper from f/4 ->

Summary: A cheap alternative for real FF wideangle monsters like 14-24 or 17-35, falls a bit short but for the money it does everything it promises.
