After taking this on a few trips and tests I can say this is the sharpest lens I have. Not as cheap as nifty-fifty, of course, but better built and totally worth it.

It is basically a cap for your camera, so if you are going somewhere with not much of a room in your bag, take your camera with this lens.

24mm on crop acts as 38mm on FF. It is possible to take city photos. I had it in London city with me. Had to use my feet often to zoom, and sometimes angle was too narrow. But mostly it is usable as it doesn't distort the picture as ultra-wide lenses.

Sharpness is surprisingly excellent at 5.6. I took a picture naked trees in winter, looking straight up - from corner to corner excellent sharpness. Unlike my 10-18 STM. In pictures of brick buildings I can count every brick of a house which is 100m away from me. Amazing!

Bokeh is acceptable, but of course not as great as on 50mm 1.8.

Autofocus is not exactly as fast and quiet as on 10-18 STM, maybe because it has weaker and slower motor in that small body.

Overall, very satisfied, not going to sell this as long as I have crop sensor camera.

OK, the 22mm f/2 is also small and sharp
