reviewswhat are people saying

"Takes great, clear, sharp photgraphs."

"It is extremely sharp and is definatly wide enough. This is a true wide angle lens."

"The autofocus can be a tad slow at times. When shooting multiple shots, I'll often get the 1st focus, then lock it in manual mode."

the information is inaccurate, it can go as large as f/3.5 and as minimum as f/22 , please correct this mistake.

it's a error, the minimum aperture possible is f/22

See the maximum aperture is f/3.5. What would happen if I wanted to take a photo of water for instance and slow it right down? Using a tripod, because iv slowed the shutter speed right down but cannot shut the aperture more this would just let too much light in would it not?
