Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 16 users at B&H Photo Video

". It also focuses down to 28 cm, which opens up a world of unusual close-up opportunities."

"use this on my Nikon D80 (APS-C) and Nikon N90s (Full Frame) and it performs very well on both. Colors are accurate and CA's are minimal."

"It is flawed in that it flares like all get out if you are in the unfortunate position with respect to your light. It vignettes like crazy if not stopped down, but this is only noticed indoors. I don't really notice it outside"

This lens does not allow for the use of filters which is a big, big problem for me. I got one from Amazon today and there is no way to mount a filter on this lens. To me this is pretty stupid. 12mm isn't all that wide and the use of ND or polarizers ain't going to happen.
