Decent for what you pay
So you won't find a cheaper 35mm that opens that wide. At least not new. At f2 it's fine, but a bit soft, as expected. It's not nearly as bad as you might imagine. The worst thing about this lens is the slow autofocus. It's really slow and very inaccurate, and it's definitely not something you should use for action situations. But... you take that for landscapes and take your time and expect to correct for the rather pronounced barrel distortion and you use manual focus... my word. This is exceptionally good quality for the money. I have sold photographs taken with this lens. And keep going. Try it. It's a great first prime and if you have a crop sensor closer to 50mm that's a bonus. Keep in mind it feels cheap and nasty and way too light. BUT... the metal bayonet connector is METAL! Try to buy a Nikon for the same price with a metal connection. Even my old 18-105mm Nikon, which cost a bit more, has a plastic mount. So you won't go wrong!
