What "0.25x wide-angle pocket-size adapter" was used, and with what prime lens? Was the prime lens really used at 64mm (equiv.) to produce your "16mm" shot? Is it shown there uncropped? While obviously wide it doesn't really look like 16mm (equiv.). My Panasonic FZ15's lens is 36-432mm (equiv.) also, and is beautifully sharp by itself, but I've never tried using it with any sort of adapter. I'm wondering if it's a Panasonic camera with that lens that you used.

It's 35-420mm, I guess I was thinking of the Canon S2 IS.

Sometimes I think people make these things up just to CTOCR*. *Confuse the ordinary casual reader. I'm explaining it now because if anyone asked me an hour later I'd have forgotten what it stood for myself. |
