Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Lenses
Like a lot of other purchasers, I opted for this because I couldn't justify the near £700 for the Nikon equivalent. It's a brilliant lens and does everything I hoped - the ridiculous perspective it offers provides endless possibilities. The colour rendition is good and compares with my other lenses, which are Nikons. Other reviewers have commented on a slight softness at the edges at wider apertures and I have occasionally noticed this though, strangely, not always. Stopping down to f8 or above seems to solve it, though. Interestingly, with the camera in P mode, it tends to choose a smaller aperture anyway, though that may have something to do with the amount of sky you tend to get affecting the exposure (it'll often have a high shutter speed as well, suggesting good light transmission). Exposure is always good and, interestingly, the camera will take account of a darker subject placed right at the edge of the image - something you might want to be aware of occasionally, though usually it works out well. This isn't a lens for everyday, though I think I'm going to use it more than I expected. I don't regret making the saving over the Nikon version and it certainly doesn't feel like a poor relation to my other lenses, so it's going to justify its purchase.Read full review
I needed a lens suitable for architectural photography as well as everyday wide angle requirements such as indoor shootong or landscape. I choose this lens because it has very low barrel distortion even at very wide angles (look at dpreview.com where you can compare all products technical performance side by side). On the down side it's a bit slow on autofocus and not quite as sharp around the image fringes as competitors. For the price though I'm delighted with it's performance. Reccomended
