Yes.

Sharp, fast, light, compact, cheap. Focus is noisy, it hunts, no FTM focus,
and build quality not up to Canon: you get what you pay for.

For similar money, the Canon 85/1.8 is faster, sharper, much better quality
mechanically.

Yes. Prime lenses are faster, sharper, and lighter than zooms. Zooms are
vastly overrated.

And the vast majority of great photographs were taken with primes.
