ownership:	I have experience with this lens
compared to:	MAF 28-135 4.0-4.5, Tokina 19-35 3,5-4,5
price paid:	150 EUR (used)
positive:	Very wide view. Great for water flow at fountains, and indoor photos, quite sharp.
negative:	Nothing special, except these I I could not find a good tullip shader. Newly produced ones, non original, give a shades on sides.
comment:	Very nice wide angle of view. I used it for water fountains in the nightlife. Water flow was great. I used it for taking fireworks pictures and indoor photography. I sold due to a bit short for me range it and changed for MAF 28-135 4.0-4,5 As I do more reportage pictures, where longer range is important.
