Detailed review
I love this lens... sure, it's not the 50mm 1.4 or the 1.2... which both have superior optics and speed (and 3-6x the price). It's small, light weight... so i can toss it in my sweatshirt pocket and bypass carrying a camera bag. The lack of sharpness from the lower quality optics can be negated with 2 minutes in Lightroom or Photoshop, etc.

My only real complaint about this lens is that the focusing on this lens can be a bit slow and noisy.
