The lens is definitely enjoyable. It is NOT a modern tack-sharp-wide-open lens.

Still, at F2.0 in dark lit situations, it produces nice pictures which would otherwise be hard to capture.

Re: Well built, a little soft wide open

Yup, the softness wide open is what pains me most about this lens. I own it but I'd probably just get one of the 12-35/12-40 zooms instead of I had to redo my choices.
