The Ultra Wide Heliar 12mm f5.6 becomes a 18mm on the R-D1s. Can't wait to mount it on the R2A and shoot some 12mm shots!

#1 - Early morning. Taxi with bombs heading towards the building. No I'm kidding.

I found the super-wide lenses interesting for very close shots. Just haven't got one that's really satisfying yet. Will keep working on it.
 
Even a moderate wide angle can yield results that are distinctive. These with my 28/2.8 Hexanon-M (first one cropped slightly):

I haven't yet had a chance to really play with my newly acquired Hassy SWC as yet but here's a shot from the test roll near home.

Reading and browsing this thread has left me wanting a VC 15mm very badly. The VC lenses are unbelievably good value. Not to mention the display of talent by the RFF members.
 
Wow, some fantastic pics in this thread!

Now that's how to use a 15mm Mr Phillip! And I like that fish shot Todd.Hanz - very nice.

I couldn't agree more; the shots by neelin, krosya, glenn2, michaelbialeki (esp. the elephant pic) and the first one by joe (#59) also really caught my attention.

My widest RF lens is 35mm, so that doesn't really rate. If I want to go wide it has to be a Panagor 28mm on the (evil) Spotmatic...




Or the plastic fantastic Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim if I want to go even wider... :D
