Negative Positive
Title: Love that wide angle view!!
Review: * Did a lot of research before buying this lens and it is everything I was hoping for. My favorite lenses in the 35mm film range were 24 and 28mm. This lens covers that range with some left on both sides with very little distortion, and the edge to edge sharpness I would expect from a fixed focus. So far I have not noticed any major "purple fringing" problems that others have in high contrast areas. Since I do all my processing in PS, I am prepared to deal with those as they pop up. I manual focus only so did not test the auto focus aspect of the lens. I personally do not mind the size of the lens hood as long as it does the job it was intended to do. Someday I will buy that 15mm LTD, but I like the ability to zoom instead of switching lenses out the the dust, dirt and sand I find myself shooting in many times. Maybe Pentax will come out with a weather sealed version of this great lens???
Is the review positive or negative?
