As never when shooting with an ultrawide that that do you miss that. And your pictures certainly reflect that. They come out just dandy. You almost like the lens BECAUSE of its lack of coupling more so than the opposite. I'd like to see the shots which were so boring from the uncoupled lens that they then cried out for an "upgrade". "gee I missed my focus maybe if I had that new thing just out I'd get a sharper looking picture". "gee this this is a little fuzzy if I was shooting at f2.8 instead of f4 than the shutter speed I'd get might have fixed that! I think I need to TRADE IN this 500 dollar lens for a 3000 dollar lens and check my new images against this!: I don't see any of this happening. Or a "look at this shot with the barrel distortion do you think if I had a lens which cost 3000 USD instead of 500 it would not have that? Show me that! Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
