Where are you noticing obvious disortion in the shot?
Like Christian, I noticed it, but it wasn't obvious. You can see it in the

Looks like a hotel/motel pool to me. See the balconies off to the

Lately the 28/1.9's distortion has been making me wish I had a Pentax
28/3.5K. You can see the distortion in the diverging edges of the buildings
in JCO's photo. But JCO has shown that the tonality of this lens is
outstanding. And we both know about its color. You can't have everything;

Hey, a swimming pool? Is that your garden?
Like the sharpness, DOF and contrast. Yet a swimming lady would have made
