And I was going to (respectfully and nicely) explain why you see these shots as "stretched", but you went and did my work for me

I've always had an eye for wide angle, if I wasn't confident that I could use this lens I wouldn't have bought it. Ultrawide is a little tricky, but it can pay off so well. Just wait till I get to the spots I have planned to shoot this glass
