Can't think of anything wrong with it. An excellent overall lens, sharp, fast, cheap. Was a bit stiff when new, but soon grew out of that.

A wonderful focal length, and a really fast aperture make this my favorite lens. Its by no means perfect though. The dual focus mechanism is annoying (why can't the clutch act as the AF switch as well?), as you can often have it in MF (on the clutch), and AF, and it will want to grind.
I did have to take it in to be repaired, as it stopped focusing or stopping down the lens (making it basically useless). Turned out to be some loose soldering.
Fortunately when the lens works, it works quite nicely, and produces some very nice images.
