A little unimpressed by the ultrawide lens. Actually considered if it might me defective.
But it seems unlikely.

Took 3 pictures from the same spot: ultrawide, wide and telephoto.
Can other 11pro owners comments on the quality of the ultrawide shot.
Is this what one can expect from the ultrawide lens ?

Thank you so much for reply.

I feel better knowing my ultrawide lens isn't defective.

You didn't really say what your complaint with the lens is. I don't have an 11 myself to compare, but looking at your pictures I notice that the wide has quite a bit of chromatic aberration and fringing, and looks kinda soft. (Although the telephoto also has massive fringing, so....).

However, overcast days are always kind of a torture test for digital camera tech because of the lighting. Try taking a few pictures on a cloudless day around noon.

My main complaint with the ultrawide is the blurriness introduced when light isn't at max and the ultrawide suffers much more than the other lenses under these conditions
