Pros

Remarkably compact and lightweight
Common 67mm filter thread
Excellent value for f/2.8 wide zoom

Cons

Narrower range than 14-24mm competitors
Some softness at 17mm corners wide open

Don't buy this if…

The 17mm starting point is less wide than competing 14mm or 15mm zooms, which matters for astrophotography.
