In my experience, the image quality of this lens is excellent. There is barrel distortion at the widest angles, but this is easily fixed in post-processing. In addition, it is less noticeable in many landscape shots (without a horizon line). My only complaint is that the item's listed weight of 1.5 pounds is misleading. See my photo. On my admittedly not-so-expensive kitchen scale, the weight approaches 3 pounds with plastic lids.
