I hear what EttVenter is saying about it losing sharpness below F2.8 and also noticed this, although until I read your post I put it down to me being a newbie.  However I have no regrets. It is a great little lens and was very affordable.  One of the advantages of me having purchased this is getting a practical understanding from experience of how valuable it is to know the limitations of a lens. I have found the 'softer' side of the focus wide open has its merits for certain situations where I have had a lot of fun playing with that effect so I guess it can be both an asset and a drawback, depending on the situation.</p></blockquote><p></p>
