positive:	Usable 1.4 center sharpness ok 2.2 tack sharp on the whole frame Cheap but not that cheap compared to other brands at f2 its almost the same sharpness as my 28-70mm minolta G at 2.8
negative:	soft in the corners you have to step it down up to 2.2 or more price
comment:	it's sharper than my 50mm 1.7 but for me, it's already ok the 50mm 1.7 for the price it's not that much the difference in light and bokeh for me but if you need the 1.4 go for it or even just tried it out anyways you can sell it again you won't regret either it's a good lens good for travel light and good metal construction overall a good lens and is 1.4
