a gripe I
have with a 2000 Pontiac commercial. It begins by showing a tightrope
walker. Referring to the diameter of the rope, the voiceover says,
"Wider
is better. ... That's why Pontiac's Firebird features a Wide Track [for
safety]."
Hold on. For the tightrope walker,
i do a lot of panoramic landscapes and i find that i work nearer the
ultrawide end of the range using my Sigma 15-30 or Pentax 24-90. nothing
gives a sense of space like a really wide angle shot with lots of clouds
and sky. sometimes, i will crop top and bottom to get just the wide shot.

Hi,
I dunno that I "prefer" wide-angle lenses, but I certainly find that I use mine a lot

currently have is 28mm, until I get my Vivitar Series 1 24-48).
In addition to what Ann says, I take a lot of architectural shots, and find that
"normal" lenses don't
always allow me to get
