Impressions & Notes:

  • Lens gives a wide perspective that works well in the museum

  • Distortion can be a problem on architecture building but I use it for the fun factor and the wide perspective

  • The auto white balance indoor on my K20D is not so pleasing and I turn most of my shots into black and white

The side distortion adds to the futuristic design of an exhibit hall.

It is definitely my fun lens to bring my boys to museum and I find it great even in indoor setting, the PF works to advantages in tech museums that purple actually may look cool.
