Pretty Much Flabbergasted

[Ysarex96 91]

So I had noticed this lens being advertised and talked about: MF 10mm f/3.5 APS-C Ultra Wide Angle Lens for Sony E/Fuji X/Nikon Z/ P Then on 10/30 I saw a Vitopal add for a two day Halloween sale listing this lens for $89.00 instead of $99.99. I ordered it. Seven days all the way from Hong Kong I got it yesterday -- free shipping, no tax, just $89.00. This morning I took it for a walk and snapped some test photos. The first photo of the National Garden Clubs headquarters -- no lens profile and no software distortion adjustment by me -- that's all the lens. I'm impressed. I expected some sharpness fall-off in the corners and it's pretty bad wide open but it cleans up reasonably by f/8. Build quality is what you'd expect for a lens costing hundreds of $$$$. Looking forward to using this lens a lot. Oly Pen E-PL9 w/7Artisans 10mm f/3.5

Very nice, especially for that price range. Were there any color and contrast adjustments, or is this how it renders naturally?

I processed the raw files normally in C1 and then noticed the color shift to the corners -- most noticeable in photos 1 and 3. That could be the lens and I need to investigate further. (I did apply a vignette to the photos but that shouldn't alter the color.)

Very nice set. They all look great to my eye, for whatever that's worth.
