Yes, but that only valid on FF and not everybody care of FF.
Even in that case it still compete with
- Samyang 14mm that half of its price and manage to be lighter and globaly is also very nice. Only issue being the complex distorsion.
- Pentax 15-30 that is both AF and a zoom with comparable apperture but significantly more expensive
- Sigma 12-24 that is AF and a zoom, same price but slower.
This new lens is not a game changer, it has nothing special and is not especially cheap or significantly better than the competition.
