| Pros: | sharp, sharp, sharp even wide open, not too much vignetting, low distortion, light weight | | Cons: | still has distortion | |
This lens has a very good color rendition and gave me great sunset landscapes on the seaside; to be a 20mm lens it has low distortion, but it STILL retain a few...
So, using it now on my Pentax K110d instead of the 18-55, I get only a marginal distortion reduction.
Vignetting is low and resolution and contrast are HIGH.

| Pros: | Small, light, sharp | | Cons: | Corners soft wide open | |
This is a light and reasonably sharp and contrasty lens, I used it a lot with the MX cameras and Kodachrome. No noticeable vignetting, although I never did a formal test. I do believe that the corners are a bit soft wide open, but that clears up if you stop it down a step or two.
Great for throwing in a lightweight bag, works with all the old film cameras and the new digitals. It's really only a moderate wide on the reduced sensors of the new cameras, but for small groups it works quite well.
