    I use this lens daily for Real Estate videos, and it’s gorgeous! Sharp as a tack, and very little distortion that’s easily removed in post.

    This lens costs more than the equivalent lens from Tamriel but if you can afford the extra cash it’s worth it. Ultra sharp images with straight horizontal lines even at 16mm.
