I shoot at F18+ for interiors so the images are quite sharp

Great lens, great image quality

I've also found that the images don't really get sharp until about 2-3 stops down, which kills the low light capabilities I was looking for.

The images look fuzzy and not clear

the image is confusing almost like a very nervous bokeh.

I've had two copies of this lens and both produce consistently soft images

Also produce great images.

Poor lens, poor image quality

If I go back further, I'm still in luck, because when I crop, I find the image to be incredibly crisp and clear

That lens is fantastically sharp, to the point that when something is out of focus it's still sharper than a "sharp" image with the Sony 16mm F2.8

It is definitely a soft image from the lens, i went back to using the kit lens

I've also found that the images don't really get sharp until about 2-3 stops down, which kills the low light capabilities I was looking for.

]That's awful image quality, worse than many many cheap point and shoot cameras.

Also image stabilization, unusual on an ultra-wide, more than offsets the one-stop smaller aperture, permitting slower shutter speeds, and is very much worth having

Unfortunately, I couldn't handle the fact that it doesn't have oss or produce sharp images

If you use it with extra wide lens or fisheye lens, i believe you will get more creative images.

Takes awesome images

It's not as sharp as I would like either and is also only 2.8 but does a much better job all around

f/2.8 Wide-Angle Lens is an outstanding lens for Sony E Mount cameras like the NEX
