Cons: none
Pros: very light all metal build build quality small near focus distance large depth of field low price sharp even wide open
Summary: This is a splendid walk around lens on APS-C 1.5, at 30mm focal length. With F8 there is no focus necessary at distances larger than around 1m. When judging this lens one should take all parameters into account, this is a 20mm! lens at around 200gr not a 100mm macro or 21mm Zeiss 800gr brick.

Cons: Poor IQ at the corners, even on DX - poor sharpness, heavy coma, high CAs below f/8. No AF.
Pros: Beautiful bokeh for a wide-angle, good flare resistance, very good sharpness at the center right from f/3.5, DOF markings and distance scale, spectacular build quality. Nice (not good) corner sharpness only at f/11, mushed otherwise.
Summary: If you can live without AF and don't print very large, this lens is a piece of jewelry and so much fun in street photography. Just don't expect great corner sharpness unless stopped down a lot. I recommend it to purists who love cautious framing and don't care much for optical performance but rather to who love photography in its pure form.

Summary: Small and can be an excellent lens for travel on APS dig camera

Cons: First copy returned because of severe overexposure-chip issue; chromatic aberrations in corners, not sharp until stopped down to f/8 even then corners don't tighten up
Pros: Flare resistant even shot into the sun, great color saturation
Summary: Doesn't live up to expectations given the price

User profile: Semipro
Cons: no AF not fast
Pros: extreme light weight extrem compacity flare and ghost resistance quality when closed to F8 and F11 lower price than competitors
Summary: If you accept to work with the hyperfocal, this lens is really a killer when closed down to F8
