The tested lens shows slight barrel distortion which value we determined as – 1.38%. It is a good result. As you can see in the chart below only the Pentax fares better here. The Sigma can be justified by her shorter focal length and a wider field of view. The Nikkor’s result is noticeably worse than that of the Sony, though.
