James Coard
Lovely calming effect this has. How do you find the image quality of the 17-40 at the 17mm end on your camera?
kathy s gillen... replied
thanks so much, I love the preformance with this len, the con is on the 5D markk ll ,could be sharper on the corners on the narrow end ,This lens doesn’t come free of distortions, especially so at the wide end where you can notice some barrel distortion. Which leads me to cropping some
