How are you finding this lens? Is it sharp at infinity? I mean really sharp?

It does a decent job for me as an amateur.  Here is an expert opinion:

If I had it to do over again, I might instead get the Sony/Zeiss FE 28mm f2.0 with the 21mm f2.0 conversion lens.  I am just not happy with non-native Sony lenses.  You give up a lot of features without native lenses.  And you would save a few dollars too.

 

Here is a shot I took last weekend a little before sunset at f7.1, 1/800 and ISO 100:

No mate, you did the right thing buying that lens over the 28mm f2. I have one and while it is pretty sharp it has a lot of distortion and although that can be corrected in software that comes at a price. It's very funny reading peoples opinions online about lenses and it seems many people want what you can't have - small and yet fast with extreme quality.
