That's why all SWCs have a built-in bubble level in the viewfinder... With any rectilinear ultrawide like this (the DA14 produces the same diagonal field of view on the *ist DS), you have to be very careful of perspective distortions and keystoning. The SWC is distinguished in having absolutely superb quality, right to the corners, and virtually non-existent light falloff. I hope the A35/2.8 for Pentax 645 performs as well. > The 45 is probably more practical. It's also more available.

There are three A45/2.8 lenses available on Ebay in auctions due to close between today and three days from now.
