Great REALLY wide angle zoom

If you're in the market for a very wide angle zoom, this one is certainly worth considering.While there is distortion, that's to be expected with this type lens. The images it produces are, in a word, sharp.Its maximum f-stop tends to make shooting dim interiors difficult without a support
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Lightweight
Cons:
  • Poor in Low Light

Super, super, superwide!

This is my favourite lens without a shadow of a doubt. It's superb for landscapes and producing amazingly artistic photos from all manner of subjects. It's sharp as a knife and tough too.
