Lacks its bigger sibling's tight depth of field This is important for a wide-angle, as many simply can't take filters due to their bulbous front elements. Corner-to-corner sharpness is on point, especially for such a wide-angle lens, and it also comes with a removable hood that makes it easy to attach filters via the 82mm attachment thread.
