I got some great shots out of this, but quite a few "soft" shots. At larger apertures it is "soft" - need to go down to f8 for good edge to edge sharpness. I seriously wonder that I may have a one-off duff instance as other customers rate it well. Will check and update this review.

Great lens. Have taken some long exposure night photos with this lens. Sturdy built. Will recommend this for all those who love photography.
