Thanks, Kevin. That is what I was looking for. The Sigma 14mm actually

Joy is not something that any person can give you. Joy is something that
comes from within the person. Joy is a gift of God. A little short term

Many of my favorite wide views have been made by cropping

No one theme is going to be accessible for all list members,

there's a wide angle theme, perhaps those that don't have a wide

those with no tele lenses will be exclude.
