For personal stuff the wide end is usually just for fun. I get to shoot normal and then throw in a exaggerated angle just for something different.


It actually works really well for me for my paid gig. I shoot a lot of restaurants. 16 will let me get the whole place or I can use it to exaggerate lines to give give a place a larger appearance. Then I can zip in to 35 get real close to dishes of food, pull in some background. I usually bracket 2.8, 5.6 and 8.0 on the food to give the designer the choice of DOF.


Occasionally I get to shoot some fashion stuff. I love to get low and exaggerate leg length, emphasize shoes and such. Then I have the 24, 35 etc to give a normal perspective too.


Oh and building exteriors are fun at 16 too. Just rambling cause I love this lens.
