It does have a lot of distortion, but it's a fisheye so I expected that. Actually, some shots it's not really noticable and others it definitely is. Often I use it to get _really_ close to large (non-macro) subjects. Even at half a foot distance it still covers a lot of scene. My big problem has been keeping my feet and knuckles out of the shots. Finish is not exceptional but it seems robust as a tank. If you get it "direct" you can save some money. It's been in the Sovietsky catalog for almost $200 but I got mine, new, a couple of years ago from ebay user "kievcamera" for around $125. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
