Please let me know what you think of my copy of 16 2.8

Thanks, I didn't think the lens was bad at all, considering all the horrible press that it has received  I compared this lens to my kit zoom at 18mm, and the 16 is very very slightly better.

I also compared this lens to my 20mm 2.8 Nikon AIS, both this lens and the kit zoom are miles ahead of that lens.  This makes me think I must either have a bad 20 2.8 or the NEX7 is doing something to the image.
