Bought this lens a while ago, and though the 15mm is great, I find that the range of the zoom is not great enough to warrant it being a zoom lens - You'd be better off getting a 15mm lens, and a 28mm f/1.8 or something.
The Image quality of this lens is good, and produces sharp results. However, flare is a HUGE problem for this lens. You get flare if you shoot into sun, if there are bright lights anywhere in the frame, if there's bright lights anywhere near you etc. The lens flares are blue, splotchy, very intense, and completely ruins any photo where they are present.
Given the flare problems, though the lens is fantastic for it's price and performance, it's hard to recommend.
My gallery has some examples of the flare problem
