The wide angle lens is a 10-20mm 4.0-5.6 so it can see three corners of most rooms in my house. This lens I have a problem with most when using the flash. When trying to take pictures of people, I end up throwing away all of my pictures because this lens isn't fast enough to take a party scene.

The following pictures are taken at f4.0 1/60 ISO100.

If I bump up the ISO, I could get more light here, but I wanted to see what the diffuser would do in worse case situations. I'm still afraid of noise from the higher ISOs (I know I'm an idiot since this camera doesn't generate much noise, but whatever)

You can see the shadow caused by the lens solidly outlined in the first photo, and the edges are vignetted.

In the second photo, the lens shadow is still visible, but it's diffused and not as harsh. The edges are less vignetted.
