This is a rebadge of the Pentax 10-17mm.

Acquired last month and it is probably my single most enjoyable lens purchase.
It's one of the few lenses where there is no tempation to compare against any other in my posession. Normal rules on judging a lens do not apply.

It's not that sharp, aberrations a plenty and distortion is really the point.

There's pure enjoyment to be had experimenting with framing each shot.

I like very much fish-eye effect, it's amazing for imagine, it's very usable because at 10mm fish eye effect but at 17mm fish eye effect is very low.
It's very nice for historical places, mosques, churchs and big buildings etc.
It's very fun lens i think. I recommend strongly.
