Too hard to know if you'll be disappointed because everyone has a different threshold.  Mine is a little soft at f1.8, but is usable.  I prefer it at f2 and above.  CA can definitely be an issue, but for the price, this lens is very very hard to beat.  If you have deep pockets, there are better options probably
