The build quality is good, with a medium size and weather sealing, making it durable and reliable. The image quality is generally sharp, with good contrast, but it needs a little stopping down to see really excellent image quality in the corners at 35mm. However, its performance on an APS-C camera leaves something to be desired, with the corners only sharp when stopped down to f/5.6 or so. Overall, while it is quite capable, the lens may not be worth the high price for some users, especially if they primarily use an APS-C camera.
