Don't get me wrong: I still definately recommend this lens. I have it and I use it all the time. I agree that it is totally an issue of "knowing your lens" and working within the limitations of your equipment.

I agree: there is likely other distortion types in this picture as well. In any case, I don't find this to be acceptable and was only trying to use this as an example of the types of things I need to activly look out for when using this lens at the wide end.
