Hi Jaakko If you're really bothered by the barrel distortion at 28mm and you've got time for a few extra key-strokes, you can always correct it in Photoshop loaded with the appropriate plug-in.

It's really notable at 28 mm, much worse than in 28-80 consumer zooms and actually it might be worse than in any EF wide angle lens! You note it at sea where horizon is clearly barrel-like and ruins easily the shot. There's no much to do with this phenomenon, I just try to compose photos in a way that distortion is not seen. I'v also noted some vignetting when shooting against the sky in certain weather conditions, but usually that doesn't bother me. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
