positive:	pretty compact nice colors plenty sharp, especially from F2 onwards speedy focusing
negative:	could be better sharpness-wise between F1.4 and F2
comment:	Bought it on sale in Jessops a few years ago; haven`t been using it too much on my APS-C camera due to its quite heavy front-focusing; interestingly enough, it didn`t need any micro-adjustment on my A7 + LA-EA4 combo; now it serves as my normal lens and I`m happy with it; I was positively surprised at its focusing speed
