"ALL IN ALL THIS LENSE DELIVERS BEAUTIFUL EXPOSURES IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR CAMARA!!!"

"A really wonderful wide angle lens that I use for landscape photography. A fast lens with great field of view and little discernable distortion"

"It is a little soft at f/2.8, but not so much that it's a deal breaker. All in all, a great lens and a good buy."
