sharpness: 4 color: 3 build: 3 distortion: 5 flare control: 5 overall: 4	tested on: film camera: APS-C: 6MP; 10MP; 12MP; 14MP; 16MP; 20MP; 24MP full frame: 12MP; 24MP; 36MP; 42MP; 61MP
ownership:	I have experience with this lens
compared to:	Tamron AF 60 F2 Di II
price paid:	missing
positive:	Almost nothing, except AF is quick.
negative:	Very noisy when AF. AF/MF toggling is not convenient. Poor color especially when backlighting. Not sharp enough even at F5.6. Big out-focus when AF at macro. Not useful focal length on APS-C
comment:	Generally, it's not a good lens in comparison with its popularity. Especially, when I use this lens with Tamron 60 F2 together, I found the 60/2 is much better in color and sharpness and almost everything else. It's 1/3 cheaper than 60/2 but I don't think it's a worth lens after all.
