An Angle of View almost like the Human Eye by .. Rolf Bertram (Anna Maria Island, FL USA)
This lens is good if you are close-up, in the middle of a croud, and you want as much as possible of a wide angle to catch the whole scene. Obviously there will be distortions of straight lines into curved lines, since the camera sensor is flat, and not spheric like the human eye. That kind of distortion is a matter of taste. If you keep at least the horizon straight by keeping it in the middle, the other distortions can be quite artistic. I used this lens in the Philippines for 5500 photos, and published the best in a few books. Technically, the lens delivers in-focus sharpness from very closeup to infinity at f11. I usually use the 11-22mm Zuiko, but for this travel photography in crouded places, this lens was the best!
