Frantisek may be right. One reason I don't use my CZJ 20/2.8 that often is that the resulting pictures look so "normal." I'm among the lucky few who own it in a retrofitted K mount. But it's not autodiaphgram; the view will grow dim as you stop down. Frantisek Vlcek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: T

What seems to be the consensus for the best (in terms of optical quality and build) for a wide angle lens less than 28mm. I am looking for a good, clean, and razor sharp lens with an angle of view greater than 90(degrees) for some landscape work. It is very important that the distortions be mini
