That goes for horizons and similar straight lines; in cars & aircraft cabins this may be a different story. MArtin B. D.

As Uncle Joe Stalin was fond of saying "the only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead". But seriously, I want this wide of a lens primarily for those situations where depth and breadth are required to make the shot: such as close indoor confines, inside automobiles, aircraft cabins, etc..
