Optically it's as good as the new Canon Cine Style HD Zooms, hardly any CA and for a zoom only very little breathing. Because of it's range - starting with a wide 8mm - it's very versatile.
In Europe the grey model with its I think slightly improved coatings sells approx. 5.5. to 6K, in USD go figure.
