If I recall, you'd just purchased a 28/1.4 (either from PP or CWO). It was some years ago. I'd forgotten why I sold the 18 until Henning mentioned moustache distortion. OK for landscapes. Not so nice for architecture. I photographed a kitchen remodel for a contractor and the cabinets looked warped. I had to go back with my 21 ASPH M and redo the shoot. It's probably the only time the distortion would have mattered since that was my last architectural job.

I'd get the Nikon 18mm f/2.8 for your nikon. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/1828af.htm Its gorgeous. Mark William Rabiner _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
