Almost fifteen years ago, I wanted an extreme wide-angle but couldn't afford Leitz prices - an Olympus OM2 with 19mm rectilinear entered my life. I recently picked up an f1.4 standard lens _very_ cheaply ($20) and have tried it a few times. What I really miss is the ability to see what's going on just outside the frame - to anticipate things entering it, and see what's just outside the composition. With an SLR, I feel like I'm looking through a glass-bottomed bucket onto a reef. - -- Phil Payne
