Subject: [Leica] Some of a few recent shots from the UK

Douglas - I really enjoyed these cloud shots and seascapes.   The 
light in them is terrific.   Many (e.g., Whitby Sands and Whitby 
Sands 2, Whitby Harbor, Saltwick, and at least some of the railway 
pix, too - also really nice, by the way) seem to have been taken with 
a 21 or 24 mm equivalent lens and apparently on the 20D from what you 
said in your posting..

What focal length lens did you use on the 20D for the widest shots? 
Or, were these really wide shots done on film?

I'm think of getting a 20D and am wondering about lenses for it.  Thanks.
