Hallo Mark, as I read you have the Fisheye-Zoom an also a 14mm lens. Therefore it will be interessting for you to see that there is a easy way to correct the distortion of the fisheye lens I have writen a little report about: Using the F 3.5-4.5/17-28 Fisheye-Zoom plus the freeware program PTLens gives a lens of about 15-26/3.5-4.5 A detailed explaination with pictures (sorry, up to now only in German, but look at the pictures or use Altavista translator) http://www.mycroft.de/dptlens.htm An animation of the result and the link for the installation of the free program: http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html It would be interessted to see a comparision between a real super wide angle of 14mm and the fisheye zoom with correction. Could you do such a test? Regards Rüdiger
