Or worse! Just a couple of weeks ago I was standing on the infield of 
Fenway Park with a sports photographer for the Boston Globe chatting 
about his renegade preference for shooting an M6. I assumed he was using 
a 28mm Distagon but instead was astonished to learn that it was a 21!

How far the grammer of pop photography has come that we now routinely 
accept the exaggerated perspective of such a wide lens; we would not 
have a mere decade ago. Makes the 35s on our old stereo cameras seem 
almost normal!
