Cons: 1. average corner sharpness - some report considerable variation between particular lenses in this respect - still, simple sharpening in post prod (if necessary) solves the issue for me, 3.filter necessary to maintain water resistance

Pros: 1.extremely sharp in the centre (even wide open), 2. excellent build quality. 3. fairly nice bokeh (for a wide angle, of course) 4. works ok for backlit shots

Summary: a very good wide angle lens, for whatever purpose you can think of - i've used it for landscape, documentary, interior photography and portraits as well...
