I took a few shots with someone else“s lens and indeed, you see more of the scene, but the optical distortion is overwhelming. (its a good make of lens).
ok ok!
I am trying to decide whether or not to splash out on a new lens and am thinking about how many people are going to laugh when they hear how much I have spent.
Perhaps "overwhelming" is too stong a word. I just felt that it make a narrow space seem very wide. It was not a fisheye lens
The focul length was 10mm if I remember correctly.
I certainly take the point about it being necessary for landscape and architecture. I was wondering whether the leses enable creativity in other areas. I am thinking for instance, that a wide angle of a person with a low depth of field could have a certain impact. Sure, when people are spread out, I can see its useful.
