Well not as tight as it was when I was like 20, but you know. ;) But really, for me photography is the perfect blend of the artistic and technical sides of my brain. But, you've inspired me, and I've ordered the 24mm 2.8 Ai-S lens that you use and I'm going to play around with it and see what happens. I do like your point about showing more depth in the photographs. Having been used to the whole big aperture long lens compression thing for awhile, some depth in my pictures could be a nice change. Thanks for the tips! Hey, I’m a tight ass tech freak!

I love your posts.. I'm really keen on trying myself out in the world of fashion photography. I kinda work in the fashion buisness and as I just bought a DSLR, flash and the whole lot, it seems like the natural way to go. I dislike photographing the natural way and I've been in some heated discussions already with boring studio photographers. You know.. The ones that does passport photos and so on.. And the only reason they photograph girls, is.. well to be honest.. they really don't get to see girls like that, by inviting them out. But.. I love your blog, and the fact that you couldn't care less about what someone once said was the right way to do it. Nothing is set in stone and the only way to get truly stunning pictures, is by being creative and don't let yourself be locked down by "rules" I discovered your site today, so congratulations to you, because you've just got another fan :) Hi Melissa

I also have a roughed up 18mm f/4.0 that is fun to play with too. I only throw them on my D700 or on on of my Film SLRs. Both are Rectalinear and do not distort straight lines or people at all. The only quirk with going that wide is the short focus throw until you are at infinity. But, of course, given the optics, if you stop down enough, almost everything will appear to be in focus. Another avenue to look into if you want to go really wide and have a good machinist or tech person to help you out would be to try to pick up some older motion picture wide angle lenses. Yes, they can and will often weight more than your pro DLSR body but they will have fantastic image quality.
