(I can't think of any other way to use this lens so I suppose this question answers itself).>>> Hi Joe, As a what you might call a seasoned user "since the lens came into the world" I never think about the drop off at f.1, as in my photojournalist type work it usually is an enhancing factor allowing for all attention to go towards the main body of the image. I suppose if one is shooting a wall and needs everything to be equal corner to corner, he answer would be to use another version 50mm lens. The drop off might be corrected if you stopped down a couple. tted
