[Leica] Orford and Dedham: Who Needs Wide Angle Lenses Anymore?

[philippe.amard at sfr.fr (philippe.amard)]

The wire has a lovely curve in the street scene, but on the whole this  
seems to work fine.
BTW perhaps you could post a little larger as I find it difficult to  
assess the real capabilities of the contraption

Thanks in anticipation
Keep experimenting,
and sharing of course

Bien cordialement
Philippe
