It never fails that when the bride and groom with all attendants number about 15, it's in a church that holds only about 200 people! I set the thing up and leveled it, and did the group shots- WOW! No distortion, and wonderful photos ( If I do say so, m'self!) I am a Leicaphile, but that SWC, despite the shortcomings, is one tool that is marvelous- and there is no real substitute out there, that I can tell!
