for starters your max aperture is f8 .... that alone would keep it out of my lens collection

I have seen some decent shots with them, but they are not going to be the easiest to use. They will be MF only due to the small aperture. Also, points of light become donut shaped. Probably not bad for daylight, but I would not recommend for anything less than ideal lighting.
