Yes, that's correct. However, the lens is that wide at its closest focus setting only. If you really shoot that close with such a lens, it might be a real issue. For me, it hasn't been, though.

Thank you, Markus. Well, I don´t think this will be a real issue for me too but I wanted to know exactly how it behaves. All this breathing stuff is a bit annoying, anyway... Canon 70-200 IS II seems to have mastered that much better, for instance (so it is possible even with today´s designs)
