Aloha,
I used this lens briefly in Paris, and then used my FA 35mm under the same indoor lighting conditions.
for the asking price I wanted to be blown away, I wasn't.
I think my 35 is sharper across more of the frame, I was stopped down to f8
distortion is really well controlled, maybe better than my 35mm
contrast and color look great, about the same as the 35mm which is really nice.
the front element is pretty bulbous, I can be hard on my gear, so that's kind of a worry for me if you shoot in dynamic situations, it certainly is something to consider.
I love wide angle lenses, and with the drop in cpf I was really looking forward to this lens.
If I had the spare cash, maybe....
