Worth Knowing
−No optical image stabilization; requires camera with IBIS for low-light handheld shooting
−Focus breathing present and visible in video work; field of view subtly shifts during focus
−Corner sharpness is softer than center at wide apertures; lateral chromatic aberration requires stopping down or post-processing correction
−Steep learning curve for ultra-wide compositions; not suitable for subject isolation or telephoto compression
