I am still getting my 'sea-legs' metaphorically speaking, but I am still pretty 'wobbly'! I figured it would be pretty close to a 21mm lens for the RF (This is an SLR optic on an old Pentax). Imagewise, not a bad piece of glass for the price, but it is a format that does take some getting used to! I still get my feet in a shot if I'm not careful!
