Stopped down it produces good images. As you might expect the larger 
apertures
don't have the fine detail. At f/8.0 it can produce good landscape images. 
In the
f/1.5 to f/2.8 range nice portraits.

A good addition to your kit if you already have a 90 TE. A keeper, but I 
sold mine
too long ago. ;-(

Welcome back to the LUG too.
