I’ll never forget the first time I looked through the viewfinder of a camera fitted with a 20mm ultra-wide-angle lens. Everything looked amazing and I blew several rolls of film shooting everything I saw along the way. Prior to using this “exotic” lens, I had never shot with anything wider than the 50mm normal that came with my first 35mm camera.
The sobering part came when I developed the film and started eyeballing the results of my first outing. In a word, they were underwhelming, but I kept at it until I figured out how to use ultra-wide-angle lenses in ways that enabled me to capture the kinds of photographs I envisioned capturing with these wonderfully challenging lenses.

The Chevelle Super Sport above almost leaps off the screen—the distortion is a result of coming in too close and tilting the lens slightly downward. If I were to back up a foot and level the camera, the distortion would not be as obvious.
