I guess given you bought it second hand at least one person didn't like it
I don't shoot a ton of wide angle, at least not enough to warrant something like the 16-35 (as good of lens as it looks), but occasionally am on a trip or something to the beach etc where something wider would be nice, and most likely would be shoot stopped down a bit anyways, so I'm hoping (maybe too optimistically) that by f5.6 or so it will be decent into the corners, for non-critical work at least.
I guess its a little bigger/heavier than some people expected as well, so might not really save too much size/weight over my tiny little Zuiko 21/3.5, but it certainly would be smaller than the FD20/2.8.
Convenience factor seems pretty nice too, just bayonet it on/off as needed, and the camera automatically detects its on there with the clever little magnet sensor, applying the proper levels of correction.
Guess if you've got one coming I'll hold off buying a few days just to get your take on it. Save me the time and trouble of returning/selling it if you try it and think it absolutely sucks
