True with new technology no question.

But I'd bet there were times long before we got into the high tech gear and 
lenses of today when you wished you could squeeze another mm or 2 out of the 
widest lens you had at the time. :-)

Even with these wonderful superwides we'll always run into a situation where 
they would fit what our eyes see if the lens was 2mm wider! ;-) And we can't 
take a step back becasue we're already ass to the wall and squeezing. ;-)
