The fact that if you are careful and keep it level, the picture doesn't reflect the fact that it's a 15mm lens. Basically no distortion. People wonder how you got so much on one frame. I photographed a Sunday concert at Stern Grove in SFO. The place is fairly small, but with the 15, it looked like a sea of people that went on forever, which is the perspective I wanted. And the people in the foreground were not distorted (wide heads, etc.) It really is an amazing piece of glass! I love it! Awesome! Jim
