Hi Richard,
Quite right, but then as you've learned from using your 15mm, some thing's 
you don't have hanging on the edges. I mean we've all seen the improvement 
in your 15mm use and the quality of the photographs you've produced.

But there are others who'd still whine and bitch about the distortion 
without making any effort to use it properly. The 15 or any super wides of 
that size are my favourites, the R 15mm is a killer for travel photography 
another of my favourite subjects. As is the 10-22 on a 20D. The beauty of a 
super wide helps create wonderful scenes, interiors of buildings and rooms 
look magnificent.

People? OUCH! If you put them in the wrong place. ;-)

One just has to learn how to use it and they to will get hooked on it or any 
super wide lens. They make for beautiful photographs one a user learns how 
to make it work.
