Hi, Fellow Nikonians.

I don't know if it's just me, sometimes I notice that there seems to be a "barrel distortion" (not sure if this is what you call it) when I use the 18-70mm DX lens (i.e. there seems to be circle that seems to be better exposed in the photo)... like looking through a hole.

Anyone knows what causes it?
