You might recall I built a large LEGO church in my living room and now
I'm photographing it...

That shot was taken from the balcony looking toward the altar, and
the floor plan might make it more clear what I'm doing (locations
A and I, respectively, on the map)...

The photo was taken with an FA 28mm f/2.8 stopped all the way down.
I'm guessing on the focus point and the polarizer angle since I can't
look through the viewfinder once the camera is in place. The focus is
better than this scan appears, but I'm not getting the polarizer angle
right. That's not my current concern, though I'd welcome suggestions
on how I might adjust that thing wihtout being able to look through
the viewfinder.

My question is one of judgement...

The 28mm is my widest lens, and I bought it for this project. I'd like
to go wider still but I'm concerned that the far corners of the church
already appear kinda flat at 28mm. Geometry is telling me that I'm
getting the same perspective that I'd get photographing a real church
of the same proportion using the same lens, but relative inexperience
in photography makes me ask, anyway... is the perspective I'm getting
realistic for an interior shot with a 28mm lens?

I'd like the 20mm f/2.8, but I sure wish I could look through it in
this church before I handed over my hard-earned cash. Anyone in
SE Michigan want to let me borrow one? :-)

Thanks,
Amy
