Thanks, Darren!

The only issue I've ever had with it has been fringing -- but, at the 
time, I was shooting with the saturation turned up to 11 and almost 
always wide open. When I settled down a little bit, I started getting 
MUCH better results from it.

I got this shot with that lens, FWIW:

The biggest issue I've had with it is purple fringing.
