Great lens BUUUUUT ...
If you have a Sony E mount and want a good scenery / vacation lens (the 17mm wide is great) this might be the one for you. Sure the 28mm might be limiting (you'll be using alot of foot zooms), but with a fast .2.8 aperture and at this price, it is hard to beat. There are just a few niggles you should know up front before you buy: .1) It is plastic fantastic. If you are an old time Canon EF lens user, this won't be anything new. But being plastic fantastic also means it's nice and lightweight...

Amazing lens for the price
We recently travelled to Europe and I brought this lens along with its companion the 28-75mm f2.8. The 17-28 stayed on the majority of the time, allowing me to capture some awesome wide shots I am very happy with. Tack sharp in the center and hold up very well in the corners. Some vignetting as expected but easily corrected. Simply an amazing lens considering it's $. I also use this lens now for video work and it's perfect for my Feiyutech gimbal; small and light.
