Initial impressions of this lens – wow! Fantastic image quality, and while focusing isn’t terribly fast, it’s not hideous either. Reports on some Facebook forums suggest it’s unusable, but I disagree. While you need time to compose your shots and allow for time to focus, it’s quite doable.

These were shot in midday sun and edited in Lightroom.
