So this lens found it´s way to my M, to complete my setup.

It looks sturdy, handles well, and the resolution and image quality is superb for this class, system size and price. I had problems with literally every single wide angle lens around. From reviews, those wideangle lenses seemed to produce very blurry images, especially in corners. To add to this problem, with wide angle lens one obviously has lowwer absolute resolution per angle, so it looked even worse. Not this one. Maaan this is sharp in corners, and even sharper in the center. Not as my primes, but it´s very, very close. It seems that my 22mm pancake is in danger. But it´s still smaller and faster lens for pocketable setup, so it won´t be ditched...

What´s not that good is, that it doesn´t feel so pro and refined as all reviewers didn´t forget to point out. Feels a bit like toy in some ways. It´s not pro, It´s just good. Not fast lens, not speedy with focusing on M, but it delivers. It´s worth to buy M + this lens just for wide angle setup. It will give special image quality for very nice price. Hope I´ll find some good use for it.

This was the first shot made with this lens, just seconds after I put it on my camera:

Just for fun and initial happines of having WA lens...
