Very, very impressed by the Canon 8-15

Re: Very, very impressed by the Canon 8-15

Tnx for that - I prefer wide angle and have the Canon 15 fisheye, Canon 17-40, Sigma 8-16 for crop, Rokinon 14 and now the Tamron 15-30 which is good at avoiding distortion and flare, and is very sharp. (One reason I got the Tammy is it has the best handholdability in low light (15mm-IS-f/2.8) and it feels like holding onto a fixed object.) I too thought the wide end of the 11-14 was a bit extreme re: the corner distortion you mention (as well as the cost). Based on your post I'll probably rent the 8-15 for a better look.
