I'm just wondering, is this straight off the camera?

just got this lens on Amazon. Anyone else notice that the lens isn't perfectly snug when attached? I can kind of twist it a bit after it's locked on. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my lens? It's not terribly bad, but I did notice it.

my lens is pretty snug, it fits about as tight as my Canon lenses.

no it has been slightly cropped to get rid of a post in the foreground as well as some lightroom adjustments.

I was worried about that. I may have to return it.

So in terms of it's distortion, was there any edits (distortion wise)?
Also if you did some distortion correction, did you do it through lightroom 4?

Any C/A issues?

on that shot i did not have to do anything regarding distortion.

the picture below shows the typical mustache distortion that you can get with the lens. there is a profile for lightroom which did work in lightroom 3 but i have not been able to get it to work in lightroom 4. i have not had any issues with c/a.

Nice shot. I asked the question earlier but it may have been missed. There is no lens profile at the moment for this lens for LR4?

I use the old profile in LR4. It works for me, although, to be honest, I rarely use it. If (like in that shot) there is a horizon line across the bottom third, or a sidewalk across the street or something, the distortion is distracting, but for 98% of my shots, I don't notice it.

Can someone do me a favor, and post a picture from this lens on a full frame camera with no edits? I just wanna see how much distortion, and vignette the lens gives off.

There's one on one of the first pages. Like 5-8.
