Is this lens soft?

I was reading about this lens and a bunch of people said it was soft. Is it soft? I don't want a soft lens. I think I wasn't looking for the softness when I bought the lens, but now I want to know. I mostly print wallets and 4x6's from the kiosk at the store. You know, you put your digital memory card in and get prints in 10 minutes? I looked at my 4x6's with a magnifying glass to see if I could find the softness, but I'm not sure. I also looked at the photos at 100% and 200% on the screen, but I'm not sure. I just want to make sure this lens is sharp, because soft lenses aren't what good photographers want. Maybe I should sell this lens and wait for them to make a second version with improved anti-softness.
