When I think the kit lens is not doing so well I set the camera to Av of f8, which should be the sweet spot of this lens, and snap a test shot or three. I have lots of great picture from this lens. But I do try to keep it at 6.7-11. 5D | 17-40L | Tammy 28-75 2.8 | 28-135 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | Sony A6000 2-Lens Kit | SEL35 1.8 | EF 50 1.8 on NEX as my 75mm 1.8
