According to prestigeuos German's magazine "Foto Magazin" this is one of the best super wide angle zooms on the market, superceded only by Nikkor 17-28/2.8. It has grade 9.6 (of 10) for optical performance and 9.0 for build quality. FA* 24/2 had only 9.0 for opticals, and 9.6 (as I remember) for mechanics!
