The lens is very good in terms of sharpness, but resistance to flare, esp. flaring between the rear of the lens and the sensor, is a problematic weakness. An improvement on this regard is at the top of my list. It would also be nice to incorporate an integrated telescoping lens hood in lieu of the clunky detachable hood.
I will also mention, the IS version of the lens is not as sharp as the older non-IS version! Not by a lot; but more than a little. So, there is room for improvement, even in sharpness.
