Yep.

I'm the only one that says it's soft at the edges... but really usefull in a 'watch out for the bizzare perspective' kinda way.

Good for big skys:

I think it is just incredible value for money. It's less than £290 and creates images that you simply can't achieve without spending £600+. Plus in my view the colours are significantly better represented than my Nikkor 18-135mm kit lens.

The 10-20 is a bit soft at the edges but makes up for it with fantstic colour and contrast.

Update:

Bought lens today after much shoe leather abuse.

Cost was 3300hkd or around £208 to you and me.

HK is really impressing me!
