Hi Tina, And obviously creating a far stronger photograph! Image is packed foreground to as far as you can see. Excellent composition! Not to forget the colour impact! Once again, you the boss with the cameras! ;-) :-) Consider the earlier critique null & void!!! :-) :-) I used the 15mm on my Leicaflexs and distortion constantly haunted me as the least bit of tilt created massive distortion and I always had to watch for it. But when you held the camera correctly, "yep hand held" and not on a tripod with leveling device. The images were just wonderful! KISS simple, as you looked through the viewfinder you lined up a couple of background vertical lines in the interior left and right sides in the viewfinder and when you were ready "click! " No distortion. Usually. ;-) Made locations look massive! And such wonderful mind blowing powerful foregrounds tack sharp front to back of scene! Aaaaaahhh those were the days!!!! :-) cheers, ted
