[Film 35] Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia

I've never been a fan of ultra-wide-angle perspectives because the most typical photos that you see taken with them are landscapes in open areas... so what if you can see all the grass or dirt around you? It's all the same, I think. When experimenting in more confined spaces like inside a city, you can actually benefit from the very wide field of vision. In this shot you can see the fine detail on some of the 467,000 sandstone tiles on the ground of Federation Square.

The Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 is a sharp beast (see original size) and fairs well with minimal ghosting and flares. I've seen this perform very well even on the full-frame digital VG-900, can't wait until the full-frame NEX comes along.

Notes: Whole frame, etc. and a grungy scan.
