Besides it's so uniquely designed why not do something completely off the wall unique with a 12 wild and woolly lens? :-) And chopping any of it off the tip or top is a no-no! Imagine with the 12 and shooting right from the bottom as it appears to streak into the sky, ones imagination in lens use would blow the bridge designer right out of the water. Then again maybe not. As this is something you can't shoot it down sitting at the screen as it's the kind of scene that must be shot first to see what one's imagination could come up with. But dang I bet there'd be some eye openers for sure. :-) ted
