It looks like the distortion isn't as pronounced as I would have thought. If you shot a flat surface, such as a brick wall, straight-on, do you see much distortion?

These are the only three pictures that I feel worked from almost three rolls of film I shot with the Heliar the during a recent trip to New York City. I did lose a lot from flare and reflections shooting into the sun and through train windows, though - got to learn to watch out for that. They were all taken before I had so much good advice from Ted, too. Maybe I'll chuck it on the ol' M7 again this weekend and see if I can't get my hit rate up. But then, I've now got a 40mm f1.4 Nocton to play with, too, - hmmm.... what to do, what to do... ;-) Comments encouraged as always. Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Boston MA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
