Pros: Sharp. WIDE
Cons: not weather-sealed. Loose cap. Strong CA
I have had two of these the first was very sharp the second was not. However others I know who have it all have very sharp copies. The Chromatic Abberation (CA) is quite noticable with this lens.Obviously you can use the fisheye effect to exagerate angles etc but for me the best use is by keeping the horizon more ofr less through the centre of the frame, that way distortions are quite manageable
The beauty of this lens is that it is sharp from corner to corner and very very wide. managing to produce images that don't look like they were taken on a fisheye though is an acquired skill.
