One of the things that annoys me about this 11-16 wide angle for my Nikon D7100, is that.
(A) you can't go to 11 mm and use your pop up flash on the camera, because the lens is so wide the flash can't send light down below the lens so you get this shadow shaped like a cone at the bottom of your images.
(B) you must use a off camera flash to overcome this..
it's not very often i use such a wide angle, mainly taking large groups of people is 1 of them the other is in cramped places where i don't have much room to step back to the subject of my shot.
it's not really good for portrait other then large group shots,
It's a great lens tho it does fight lens distortion, because it's a rectal-linear, so it helps to fight against things looking like they are stretched or warped very pleased with the quality of the wide angle it does, except for the fact i have to use off camera lighting to avoid getting this cone shaped shadow at the bottom of my images lol.. of course if i zoom into 16 MM i don't get that shadow it's when i get to below 13 mm
Just that fact that i need to have an off camera flash system bothers the hell out of me.
Any one ever experienced this before?
