It does have some distortions at the edges. Some examples on my site include: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2003/2003_1alt1.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2003/2003_1alt3.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2003/2003_2.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2003/2003_3.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2003/2003_3alt1.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2003/2003_3alt2.jpg and many more. Looking back through my PAWs it is funny to realize how many were shot with that lens. When I bought it I did not think that I would use this focal length that much, which I why I opted for the CV instead of the real Leica thing. In the end though, the CV has served me well.
