actually with the lens zoomed in to 24mm you will not have much distortion at all...

@chantal7

Well, the only thing you will need to get used to is the wide angle of view, you will have to be aware of what you are sticking into the composition and also the fact on perspective distortion (it's optical law, nothing wrong with the lens).

Okay. So I will see distortion before I take a picture, if there's any (and if I look properly)? Thanks again for the help.

yea viewfinder looks thru the lens, so naturally u see the distortion of the lens

lol so I guess if you want to see funny faces just look through the viewfinder

Haha okay, figured so ^^

regarding the Graphic design forum:


I am not sure about you but Im kinda regretting that I posted my new signature on there and asked for advice course Ive been accused of infringing on someone's copyright.
I also noticed that nobody there really seem to have anything good to say about your signature either. seems there are a lot of douches there lol

I am kinda wondering if they should create a subforum for those of us who like to make signatures out of pictures that were taken by ourselves.
or how many of you guys are actually into making signatures at all

hope you dont mind me posting an OT post in your thread

They are graphic designers in that forum ... they are hardcore assholes when they know shit about pixel design. To be honest, all the sig's I've posted there have gotten crappy feedback. One reason why I rarely post there. Who the hell cares anyway, I take pictures, not design 300 x 100 tiny little images. I create massive poster size pictures with my camera with just a snap that pwn their little tiny ass "ego" signature.

haha so freaking true! lol thats exactly what I was thinking just couldn't put into words. hope you dont mind me saying this but when you are angry or upset or just being serious you could say some very unexpected and intelligent stuff lol

well thats why I was kinda wondering if any other members in this sub forum make signatures as well, especially of photos they have taken. hmm and if it would be against rule to post signatures made of photos taken by us in this forum I mean its a combination of photography and graphic design

hehe just took some time making another one but I am not sure if i like it though

ok last OT post here.
well lol I sure hope those stupid remarks and flaming by those kids didnt get into your head earlier.
It was my first time posting there yesterday and I had no idea what a bunch of rude douche bags they are in there

well I think I may will create a thread in this forum about signatures but of course I will only post signatures I made of pics taken by me

Great lense, i have one of them and they're really nice. But i warn you, filters(which are very nice for landscape photography) arent cheap for this type of lense..



lol this is absolutely not true, you hardly notice the distortion unless you have the object you are taking a picture of very close to the camera.
