The lens gets ‘ZERO-D’ in its name so we were very curious how it will perform in the distortion category. While cooperating with the smaller APS-C sensor it fared sensibly well, with a result of −1.06%. After passing to full frame the distortion increased only slightly, a very good piece of news. We got −1.68% and it compares very favourably with the results of the lens’s rivals in this category. The results of 14-15 mm lenses we’ve tested lately usually ranged from -3% to -2%.
Using the photo of the sky from sample shots we managed to determine the field of view of the tested lens. It amounts to 109.5 degrees within the margin of error of 0.3 of a degree. It is a value very close to 110 degrees, declared by the producer.
