And?

How small an area are you talking about and how close?

I'm spoiled with my 19mm lens. :-)

I can photograph a day head (and wind up with something other than a
close-up of a Grohe faucet or VacuFlush marine toilet) standing in an
adjoining companionway. Shoot from the door of the forward cabin in a
32-footer and get a view of both the port and starboard sides back to
within a foot or so of the aft bulkhead. Crawl into an engine room and
get a good view of both the port and starboard engines. Stuff like
that. The 28 just doesn't *quite* do it.

I often need a wide-angle exposure, and seldom a "zoom".
I'm going to have to get down to a 10mm digital lens with any of the
cameras in the "doesn't matter (as much) if you klutz it into the
sound" price range. :-)

Ah - understand now I do.

Test shots I will take - information for you it will be - decide if
standard lens works it will.

Later,

Tom
