The Ultra Wide Heliar 12mm f5.6 becomes a 18mm on the R-D1s. Can't wait to mount it on the R2A and shoot some 12mm shots!

#1 - Early morning. Taxi with bombs heading towards the building. No I'm kidding.

I found the super-wide lenses interesting for very close shots. Just haven't got one that's really satisfying yet. Will keep working on it.
 
Even a moderate wide angle can yield results that are distinctive. These with my 28/2.8 Hexanon-M (first one cropped slightly):

Wow, some fantastic pics in this thread!

Now that's how to use a 15mm Mr Phillip! And I like that fish shot Todd.Hanz - very nice.

I couldn't agree more; the shots by neelin, krosya, glenn2, michaelbialeki (esp. the elephant pic) and the first one by joe (#59) also really caught my attention.

My widest RF lens is 35mm, so that doesn't really rate. If I want to go wide it has to be a Panagor 28mm on the (evil) Spotmatic...




Or the plastic fantastic Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim if I want to go even wider... 😀
