It's a $100 lens

It is no doubt not a quiet lens. It also isn't terribly fast in the light you would use a 1.8 lens in. The accuracy isn't terribly great in low light either. I'd have to test it to confirm, but I remember this lens being quite adequate in good light (focus-wise). But ultimately, I keep reverting back to the fact... it's a $100'ish lens that optically punches well above its weight. Honestly, I'd argue even with its problems, it punches well above its weight.
