Terrible performance in direct sunlight. Excellent indoors or in low light.

The lens produces incredibly sharp images with very low distortion as advertised. My main complaint is the amount of flare produced when this lens is used in bright sunlight. I purchased this primarily to use as a landscape lens and had to throw away more than 2/3 of the images i captured with it due to flare and chromatic aberration. If you plan to use this indoors or for astrophotography, you will likely be very pleased. If you intend to use it in bright sunlight, you will likely be very disappointed. For me, it was not a keeper so I returned it.
