does this lens cause the pictures to have blurriness around the lef tand right sides

I did not find that there was blurry edges. I found that if you get a ring around your picture if you are trying to take it full frame.

Probably the best way to answer this is to view the video I posted: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TG53V0RSNN0X/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Yes, typical of most macro lenses.. it will have "soft edges" I find that it is a good lens for well lit subjects and I either leave the soft edges because I like the look, or crop it out if it is too distracting.

No it doesnt have the blurry side angles. It gives a fish eye picture, I really like the lens.

No I did not notice blurriness around the left and right sides. For the price the lens did ok.

There is some "blurriness" around the edges. I do not find it objectionable.

Mine works perfectly and I have no issues with sharpness. It's a very good walk-around lens when I don't want to carry a lot of gear.

Chromatic Aberration causes blurry pictures. I have been using this lens for over 4 months and I didn't take any blurry pictures. But also I have been using this only for indoor portrait photos since I bought it. So I am not sure what would be the result outside with nature pictures and more complicated backgrounds. Now I am also curious about this problem too. :-/

That has not happened to me. In wet weather I do wipe off the lenssurface before driving. The foggy picture has always cleared.

No and the camera often has trouble focusing. So lots of your photos will be blurry

There is a manual focus adjustment on the side next to the view finder. If you don't use it to set viewfinder focus, it's usually blurry. This feature is also identified in your camera's manual. Hope this helps!

Yes it has. It's a god performance lens, the focus is something soft, but works well for a casual photographer like me.

They come out smudge. The pictures are not as clear as you hope they would come about to be. My lens just came like that, I'm not sure about the others

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

HI, due to the angle of the lens if you don't use a thin filter it will vignette around the edges.

I noticed that you have to have proper lighting for the camera to focus. If not you never get the green light to take the picture. Outside of that may just be a dirty lense.

I haven't noticed it. The only image related issues I notice are the blurring of the corners of the screens (due to the nature of the adjuster glass that you must look through). The image is actually VERY clear and sharp in the center.

I'm not sure. I've never had the problem with blurriness. It does take the glare off the screen so that might help.

I have not had this problem. I would suggest some cleaner. Perhaps the manufacturer can make a recommendation based on the exact materials used to make the lenses.

Thanks to the comments here I now know why I was getting blurry photos. My lens gives unacceptable results in portrait mode, but does very well in landscape mode. Therefore it's leaving my collection and getting replaced with a 70-200mm f/4.

Yes. Only annoying thing about this lens is that when you powered the camera, there is a rattling sound in reside the lens. It is not a defect from the manufacturer. Other than that it is a beautiful lens.

I haven't noticed any. Since its pretty good quality glass the direct view is distortion free for the whole lens. When I got this question I started playing with it and found no real distortion looking through at a angles up to 30 degrees and past the edge of the lens.
