Indeed, I find it to be a true bargain. It sells at the price not much above of the 24/2.8 lenses from others. OTOH, it is still not too big, like a monster truck 24/1.4 from Canon.
BTW, before I got the lens I didn't imagine how much 1 stop faster 24 mm lens can be appreciated in low light. Now I do.
