pretty close.  the 12 is so wide you can get alarmingly close to 
people.  i've nearly run into several people because i just didn't 
realize how close i was.  i LOVE using the lens for street 
photography--that is, USING; i haven't printed anything shot with 
it--because there's no focus and the viewfinder is so incredibly bright.
