I enjoy using this lens. The perspective is fantastic. The distortion at 10mm is hardly noticeable unless you are in close. The usual assumption is that lens of this type is best for landscapes, but this lens is also excellent for those close in shots also.
Good Optical quality and value for this price range; Excellent and useful zoom range; A lot of fun to use indoors or up close; Good build quality; Lens flare and CA are well controlled in most lighting
Autofocus is a bit slow; Lens Hood is very large; Huge Filter Diameter; Built in Flash is not useable with this lens unless you can deal with the large shadow at the bottom of the frame
