to my amateur eye, the images look very distortion-free for such a wide angle lens.
I have had the same ZI lens and M8 Ux3, but not at the same time. Well, i had the 21/2.8 lens, but i guess they have a 4.5 as well? are you using the 2.8 or 4.5 lens?

I just know its easy to get non-horizontal lines and non-vertical buildings with a slight shift of the camera, but your images do not reflect this: Nice work.

Just curious: did you do any PP? did you use any kind of leveling device while taking the photos?

I was keen to know as well and on his site it says F2.8. Looks like a great lens all round

Very nice. I enjoyed the view. Any more information on the shoot or did I not read something?

Hi just saw these two questions now.

It is the Zeiss 21/2.8.

I do do a little line straightening in PP when necessary, but not too much. Maybe one of these was taken with a tripod (the new cathederal I think, first one above) as I was setting up o take the same with my Hasselblad, but most are handheld.
