Very good lens for the price. A good copy will be sharp and have superb color rendition, specially because it's an FA so you'll be only using the center on APS-C. Use a hood to control aberrations and improve contrast. The downside is that it's a screwdriver lens, with a long focus throw, so expect some long AF action (up to 1 sec). Manual focus is flimsy, so can't count on it either. If you work around it's limitations though it will deliver. Some samples:
