hi jeremy, 

you described the problems of goggle-converted superwideangles with
better words than me and you added profound mathematics; maybe i
forgot to say, that i'm "goggled" myself - for that, i can hardly see
the 28-framelines in my M6. so, my statement about a "24-mm-frame"
depends more on "feeling" (and informations by master TA) than on facts.
for me, the M6 is most comfortable and perfect with the 35 mm.

thanks & regards, thomas
