[QUOTE="Claudia!, post: 86329, member: 8139"] The weight of the lens is not an issue ANYMORE. The only thing is if you are only planning to shoot landscapes and photos with a cool effect such as what furgus posted, then use it. If you want an all in one lens then this is not the lens. It is not my walk around lens because it really is not the all in one lens. I normally have my 35mm or my zoom. I just step back when I need more in the frame. I never really understood what they meant that wide angles really do distort or stretch faces but now I do. I cannot take a normal portrait photo with this lens. Even though it makes a cool effect, it is not always what people are going for. At the end of the day, I did not buy this lens for anything but landscape. It is definitely a great lens to have. I am still learning it. I do love the 11mm though. If you have FB look at the following group for examples of what the lens and photographer can do. Like I said, I am still learning mine (Im a newbie myself) but it won't be returning back to the store. I can't wait to go on a very scenic vacation.
