Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 18 users at B&H Photo Video

"This lens is very sharp; and so far I have found the auto-focus to be fast and reliable."

"I use this lens for street shooting, architecture, interiors. The size and weight is amazing, I cannot think of any wide angle lenses that are even close to this for convenience."

"Use in lowlight requires flash and/or tripod use: it is not a suitable lens for night handheld work."

What's with rating the long end of a wide-angle zoom, thumbs up or down no less? By your criteria a 4-600mm would win hands down, or so it seems. Good luck, but looks to me that you'll need criteria with a finer grain if you're to rate like with like.
