Lens Tip
Pros: very good image quality in the frame centre, good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor, low longitudinal chromatic aberration, imperceptible lateral chromatic aberration, lack of spherical aberration, negligible distortion, slight astigmatism, low vignetting on the APS-C sensor, pleasant out-of-focus areas, quiet AF.
Cons: image quality near max aperture on the edges could have been a bit better, huge coma, vignetting on full frame, slow AF.
