But my 20mm on film does the same thing. I am waiting to see how the 12-24 acts. It's supposed to be rectilinear (aren't they all in the ads??). It's the long end that's a blessing on the news side. 300/2.8 is cheaper and lighter than a 400/2.8. 80-200/2.8 is cheaper and lighter than a 300/2.8. Even in the film days, it was VERY rare to shoot a news picture wider than a 28mm. Seth = =Try shooting a traditional 20mm field of view without ridiculous =distortion on a current Nikon digital.. You use a 14mm or less to get =that field of view -- anything other than a pure vertical and whammo, =weird shaped heads, etc!!... =Keith =
