Not that I'm Tina, but I have found that there are differences between 
using wide angles on rangefinders and SLRs. The one thing that stands out 
to me is that with an SLR, you have more control over keeping things level 
than with a rangefinder with ultra-wide lenses. It's easier to see when you 
don't have it level.
