When it comes to handling, it is very nice lens indeed, excellent ergonomics. Regarding mechanical durability, I've had zero issues. It is built like a tank.

For some the minimum focusing distance can be a problem, and I was worried about it when I bought the lens, but it hasn't been a problem at all.

Sharpness and stuff is always excellent at all apertures, stopping down is always only optional. Image quality is a bit dependant on the light: bokeh can be problematic in hard light - there are axial chromatic aberrations and in hard light they are emphasized - luckily hard light tends to be crap for photography anyhow Wink

And if the target and background have some separation, this is no problem at all. In soft light the bokeh is quite a bit better.

The prices of this lens have been surproisingly low lately (even under 200 euros) and I've been thinking of buying myself a second copy, just in case.

Thanks for the detailed description. I have noticed the price quite low too and that is part of what has me eyeing this piece.
