It's got pretty strong coma on FF but otherwise I'd expect it to be decent.

I really liked using the 28mm on an old Nikon FM for street intersections. It wasn't quite wide enough and I felt a 20mm would have been better suited. But after seeing the reviews for sharpness and coma, I decided against this one and went with the 14-24 so I could cover 14, 20, and 24 in a single lens that I could use around tight street intersections.
