It's a very nice lens. I sometimes use it for auto interiors, and I've used it for room interiors as well. My landscape for the September PUG was shot with it. I believe that Robb said it was as sharp as the 14/2.8. I've read more than once that it's sharper than the A or K 15/3.5. It's certainly not a dog and more than adequate for this type of shot. Paul
