Dear Folks,
does anyone have some picture taken with a CV 12mm Heliar lens to share? I would particularly appreciate pictures of architecture to judge the distorsion it produces on straight lines. Of course, I also appreciate any comment from people who own the lens!
Tnx!

That was fast, thanks!
And...not that many pictures I like but the distorsion seems really small for a lens that wide.

The 12mm f5.6 is a stunning lens. It is, however, a lens that takes some time to get used to. Image quality is astounding and for something that gives you 127 degree diagonal image, it is surprisingly rectilinear. I dont use mine on tripod and with a level (I know I should) so any "falling" images are due to my inability to hold it straight.
If you get one, you will find yourself shooting a lot, just to get the hang of it. The medical term is "wideitis" I think!

This is one wide lens! Such high quality, too.
For this shot, I was standing on the sideway right in front of these houses, but it looks as if I'm across the street:

This thread inspired me to take my (recently) neglected 15mm Heliar for a walk. We had a great time!~

Here is a shot with the 12. I am more of a 50mm guy, so this lens is quite extreme for me and takes some getting used to.
