From the image, the zoom ring is "backwards" for me as a Canon user, so isn't that the right way for Nikon? The focus markings do look Canon direction.[/quote]
Oops, sorry, you're of course right. Thanks for mentioning, it's already corrected.

Looks like the lens could have been great if the border performance on the wide end wasn't so extreme at the edges that stopping down doesn't help much.

Yep. It's a pity somehow. On the other hand: if you don't mind the poor borders, it's still a very good option for beginners or as everyday/walk-around lens.
