Hi Henry,

Nice question! :) Glad someone else asked,I'm afraid to ask anymore!

Yep did the shoot at the old folks place the other day and great results!
Well Ok, nice results.:) I'm happy, the client was happy and that's all you
need. One good frame of each location and that's all that counts.

All shot with the 15mm/R8 and R8 metering only!  100SW film, no extra
lights, only what you see is what you use. Yep bracketed.  But what else do
you do when your shooting non-breathing moving things? And chromes.

Results were quite interesting with a pleasant mixture of daylight and
tungsten ceiling and floor lamps. Client was thrilled to death with making
the "place look so huge!" Can't beat that 15mm for interiors to blow
non-photo people away.

Or other photographers who've never seen the results of using a superwide.

The R8 performed like a dream as usual. Every frame metered by the camera
was right on the mark! Well come on, after all it's an R8, why wouldn't it
be right on the mark? :)
