Has anyone had the opportunity to try out the 13x wide lens yet? Are there enough improvements in image quality over the 16x stock lens to justify the price tag? How much barrel distortion is there?

Thanks to everyone for the informed and intelligent debate in this forum.

I don't think that lens is shipping yet... but I'd love to be proven wrong about this!

We shipped out a 13x lens to one of our customers this past week.

I love it when that happens!

(Now please ask that customer to sign in and post here!)
