disappointment.

I bought it to do some real estate photography i.e. interiors of homes to use with my Canon 6D. While the manual focusing is not bad and gives good corner to corner focus, there are too many distortions within the lens. Towards the centre, there is a barreling effect, but towards the edges, there is a pincushion effect. At the right edge, there is uneven S-shaped distortion. In short, correcting the distortion with conventional means is not possible.

In retrospect, I wish I had bought a name-brand. But that would have been 10 times more expensive. Since I bought it on-line, I am hesitant to return it as the replacement might be even worse.
