It strikes a nice balance between quality and pricing. The border/corner performance is just Okay at f/2 [...] The native lateral CAs are somewhat on the high side, but auto-correction can do its magic here without losses [...] Flare can be a bit of a problem in difficult scenes [...] It may not be the best ultra-wide angle lens in its class, but if you are on a budget, it is a viable choice.
