IMO the perspective distortion inevitable in WA lenses is poor for people shots, and even though the hideous technical difficulty of producing a reasonably sharp WA lens has been largely solved, they are still very expensive for what you get. I can understand a press photographer using one when there are 5 billion other photographers milling around the same subject, get in front of the others and still get everything in, but it is just that - get the news shot, not get a -good- shot. IMHO of course. If you get close in with a WA lens you are in peoples faces, which is rude (maybe its just my upbringing), and you get ugly shots. IMO the -only- reason anybody would use WA for people is the press guy needing to get the shot in crowded conditions.
