    Overall its sharp and does what its supposed to, where it falls short is how loud the autofocus motor is. Its basically not usable for video because of how hard the motor has to work to keep up with a subject and the motor can be heared from the internal mic AND hotshoe shotgun mics. If youre just doing photos, maybe portraits and product photography, then its fine. Im pretty sure i wont use this for anything other than a backup lens though.
