This lens gets a smile from me. The technical full name is: Tamron SP AF 11-18 f/4.5-5.6 Di II LD IF
After Ts Ernesto left the area, I went to a local lake and took my first photos with this lens. I also brought my Tamron AF 18-200mm for comparisons. Photos are located at: www.pbase.com/carlg51/burke_lake
I was very pleased with the shots at 11 and 13 mm. I saw none of the "fish-eye" type distortion that I expected. I shot both at full auto and also a f/8 Aperture Priority. Pleased with all. The camera is my D50. All were shot in RAW and handheld.
I am going to enjoy experimenting more with this lens.
