[QUOTE="Watch72, post: 152566, member: 14003"] I was also looking for a UW and finally settled for the Zeiss 18mm. You are right that there were a number of reviews that favoured the 15mm against the 18mm. In the end, I bought the 18mm partly because of the dimensions of the 15mm. It is a big and heavy lens compared to the 18mm. Here is a couple of shots with the 18mm. You will notice that unless taken at close to horizontal level, the distortion (inward tilting of the image when aiming up) of UW will be huge. [ATTACH type="full"]38055._xfImport[/ATTACH] A clear day - Hong Kong [ATTACH type="full"]38056._xfImport[/ATTACH] Singapore Raffles City I think the Zeiss 18mm performs reasonably well and can be outstanding in a clear bright day. Manual focussing is not really an issue. [/QUOTE]
