Pro:	- Sharpness! - AF speed - 2.8 all the way - Price
Con:	- Flare sensitivity - Bokeh in some situations - AF noise (Nikon screwdriver)
Review:	Excellent replacement for my kitlens.. The constant aperture of 2.8 is really handy in lowlight situaties e.g. parties, or when you want to create a short DoF. Its sharpness is almost as good as the Canon EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS for half the price! AF speed is also really good.. Thanks to the short focuspath. The photo of the church is not sharpened. Sorry, my fault! But I can't replace it.
