- The objective is for such a limited range (8-16 mm) very faint
- Taken to the internal flash (EOS 550D) formed shadow in the lower corners (strong at 8 mm)
- The distortion to the edges are very strong (no group shots as the heads are totally distorted the brim)
- Since the lens is round, you can not use a filter to protect the lens or get Effects
- You always have to wear a ring and remove the protective cap to be able to set up and to be able to take pictures
Would be able to compensate for the longer exposure times, the lens does not have an image stabilizer which in the light intensity needed -
There are also positive
+ The workmanship is very good
+ 8mm Wide
+ Super sharp images with enough light
+ The autofocus is very fast and fail
Unfortunately, my lens is too expensive to use it only with a tripod or in bright light. I'll get me a Tokina 11-16 mm (already tested)
while there has been no 8 mm but very bright and therefore does not need image stabilization and can be set before a filter for how fast is a scratch on the lens because it still has a prominent bulge outward.
