Great overall, I've always been a wide lens lover, this one has handled my test shots and real life use with flying colors, and fair to good control. It IS wide, so get down on knee, watch for Bowing....if you hold it straight on it's good. Better and flatter than my 20mm nikkor could hope to be; about like my "old" favorite 24mm f2.8d. Hard to get corner to light with strobe Nikon 900 but if you go out a bit it will fill the frame, all the way back, need to use the 20mm diffuser, and it fills in fairly well.... This one is a keeper.. Frantic
