I think wider lenses give such unnatural perspective that for what I do I wouldn?t like it. For large spaces, I doubt you'll need it. I think for small rooms where you cannot back up far enough, a really wide lens might be useful. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 3/17/12 10:38 PM, "Richard Man" <richard at richardmanphoto.com> wrote: >I am planning to travel to do a project (more details later) where I will >be taking interior shots.
