I personally like it fine. It is wide enough for most things, and I notice no distortion. The lens works very well even when shooting straight into the sun. Today I was shooting some fishermen silhouetted against a lake with the sun in the frame and sun reflecting off the water into the lens. There was a little noticeable flare, but it was not as bad as I have seen in some lenses. If you are wanting a lens that gives a really wide look I would recommend the 19. This is the first time I have not owned a lens in the 20 mm range, I found that I was almost always cropping in on my shots, so I figured why spend the extra money when I am not using the extra 5 mms anyway; but I have to admit I am saving up for the 15, that thing sounds awesome and when I want WIDE a 19 just isn't wide enough. Hope this helps. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
