It's a good lens if you get a good copy. I got a good one only after dealing with Sony (several times) for a while. The engineer from Sony told me it's one of the better copy they have tested (I asked for repair, not a replacement so they need to test).

There are certainly better lens around, but I would not hesitate to use it even for landscape (even the edges are good). It's very good for its size, weight and price, and I probably like it being an underdog.
First time I saw the RAW images i was surprised by the amount of distortion but it can be corrected easily.
I knew it has distortion before I brought the 28 so I wasn't surprised (free fish-eye? ). But I feel the same when I saw the raw files from 24-70 GM (haven't seen anyone complained about distortion before I got mine so I often felt people are more harsh to cheap lens)
