Question:

Ultrawides & barrel distortion?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I don't shoot wide angle a lot, so I have a modest ultrawide zoom, the Tokina 193 19-35. It's pretty sharp and contrasty, but it seems to have quite a bit of barrel distortion at the edges. Sometimes that's useful compositionally, but more often it's not. My question is, is this endemic to ultrawide zooms, or just inexpensive ones? If I actually forked out for a better lens, would I see signifigantly less of this distortion? TIA,Lisa
