Thanks RK.. but this is not a crop lens. It is an old full frame lens I bought five years ago when I still used a N80 film camera as well as digital crop camera and didn't want to pay Nikon's price. On a crop camera it is good, but on the D700, it is really showing its stuff - amazingly free of distortion esp at the widest angles. However, you might notice a hint of vignetting here in the lower corners. On a crop, there is none.
Thanks Rod, too bad about the EFS lenses on your Canon bodies. Nikon full frame cameras don't eccept EFS lenses either (hehe) but they do accept Nikkor DX (crop) lenses . Nikon automatically reduces the full frame to a crop frame when a crop lens is mounted.
As to straightening the buildings, you are forgetting about the horizon line - if placed near center, the vertical receding lines diminish. See the unprocessed original jpg (resized only) in Pending. The version here was processed from RAW. -tv

Rod
I know with EFS wide angle lenses that they will fit on a full frame but you can't use them at the widest setting as Tommy has done here cos the lens interferes with the mirror.
Did you straighten the buildings up Tommy as at 12mm the lean must be worse than this a. No restrictions on wot you do in Exhibition but.
The picy looks great a.

Wow! Awesome composition.
Why are you using the crop lens on a full frame?
