Thanks David, I read your comments back in Nov'08.  It seems like at the
time you were the only list member to have handled one.  I'm surprised it's
so light considering the number of lens elements - maybe they're all plastic
!

I recently had a look at one, and optically it sure delivers the goods  
- it's not only
the only 'budget' ultra-wide-angle lens in the world, it's optically  
really really good.

Very sharp, little distortion, good colour. The lens is built  
unbelievable light and
cheaply though, which may be a good or a bad thing, depending on your  
preferences. Feels
like a hollow piece of plastic, it's so light.

Also, very slow - it's exceptionally poor for low light. But I must  
say, for travel in decent
light, this lens on an E-420 must be a wonderful combination.

regards,
Dawid
