Cons: Wide open (1.4) edge of frame is pretty soft. Large distortion. Some chromatic aberration.

Pros: Price. Very comfortable focus ring. Very sharp from f2 on both center and edge.

Summary: All the cons of this lens are present in other fast 35mm lenses that cost three times as much as this one. If you can live without auto focus - go for it. Very sharp from f2 and solidly built. Mind that f1.4 and f2.0 shallow depth of field makes it very difficult to almost impossible to focus through viewfinder, need to use live view.
