Your review ...

... made me buy one.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the IQ.

At 10mm beter than I've seen from the 10-22. Wide open already sharp up to the edges. Stopping down reduces vignetting considerably and helps to sharpen the extreme corners. The corners never become perfect, but at least very acceptabel.

Slightly less good at 18mm. Less vignetting, but also less sharp at the edges. It seems that there is some field curvature at that FL. But who buy's a 10-18mm for the long end .... Center sharpness btw is good straight from wide open.

The 10-18 is small and weights almost nothing. Perfect for backpacking.

Regards, Sandor.
