Heh, you need the Sigma 12-24 to do that. Not nearly as sharp wide open or as flare-resistant. But still a fun lens to play with on a film body. I borrowed Herb Chong's during a hike a little over a year ago, and I have a scanned negative somewhere around of a relatively boring landscape shot at 12 mm. It almost redefines "wide". Unfortunately, I can't afford a DA14 or a DA 12-24 at the moment. So I'm thinking I'll get a Zenitar fisheye and play with some of the de-fishing plugins for Photoshop. Lame, but cheap. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
