  I am surprised that you were able to tell what the picture was of  as the
chromatic abberations are terrible to say the least-the acrylic viewing
lense are terrible to put it mildly. I will never forget the picture  that
Paul W took of a political gathering which included many almost un-readable
political signs. The lenses are almost as bad as a LOMO camera ?.I believe
that the LEEP lenses were a fish - eye type of 35mm f.l. more or less not
corrected for anything ?

> I visited Paul Wing at his home on November 6th.  Paul is a friend of over
50 years and he was eager to show me some Leep photos.  The field of view is
large of course, and as long as one looks at the center of the photo the
perception is of extraordinary realism.  Sadly as soon as one's eyes stray
toward the edges the distortion is disconcerting to say the least.  I
thought Paul told me that the viewer he had was the only one of its type in
existence, but perhaps my memory fails me.
