It has seen a lot of use today, and I have to agree. It is a jewel. My first impression is great. Joseph Tainter has commented on sharpness, and it looks OK. Maybe a little bit better than the A20, but I have not made any direct comparisons.
Here´s some other comments: CA/Purple fringing is good. Even with white clouds through branches and leaves it was hardly possible to see any. Distortion: I haven´t noticed any even with straight lines close to the edges. That is a lot better than the A20mm. Vignetting: very little @ f:3.2, which is better than A20mm. Mechanics: Great, almost like A20mm, but with clutch and AF. Looks: Cute. The 43mm filter thread is inside the hood. Nice, but I´ll have to buy a new filter to use it. The 49mm filter may not be used together with the hood. It´s my first limited, but I´m tempted to put me on the list for the 70mm...
