similar price and rather more flexible

distortion control seems to be very good
solid and well-built

large rubberized focus ring is nicely damped and operates smoothly
Build quality is very good
yield crisp and pleasing images
autofocus operation is both fast and quiet
fast and quiet autofocus operation
8G handles wonderfully
the lens feels quite sturdy and well-made

lack of performance
Nikon primes shows less background blur at the same aperture settings
Weird flare and really soft corners
perspective distortion is caused by subject to lens distance
Not suitable for macro shooters
Focus throw is quite short
the filter thread appear to be plastic
8G ED is not sealed against dust and moisture
it has no aperture ring
and it does not expose the inner barrel of the lens
the internal components do not seem to be reinforced with metal as they are on the 24mm
high price point and the relatively heavy weight
quality - after being spoiled by the legendary 24mm
The lens barrel does not rotate or extend during focusing either
