Just got an email from Photo Village saying they have the VC 10mm e-mount in stock. I'm very anxious to see what this crazy thing can do!

The lazy ones do not check the terms of sale.An obvious attempt to stop lens sampling. I am sure it hurts sales, but i wonder how many people actually check the terms of a particular store?
You ain't just whistling Dixie. One way I found to avoid this was using the camera electronic level to stay in the horizontal. Another thing that helped was using a monopod. It tends to make you stand a little behind the camera.Very real risk of getting your toes in the frame when shooting verticals.
I find that such wide lenses are extremely difficult to handle for composition : if you aren't exactly parallel to the front of a building, it get way too easily skewed producing unpleasant results. If you position yourself to the side, the perspective effect becomes so strong that the result is very unnatural. And finally for landscapes you get way too much foreground,It's a fun lens, so far no copy variation to speak of reported.
My lens is a keeper as well.
Definitely not a normal lens, for sure. It's kind of fun to figure out where it works. I've seen some interior shots that are very exciting. I'd like to try it in a Gothic cathedral. But they're scarce here in Connecticut. I intend to give it a chance in the desert southwest someday when I go visiting out there. I've got a photo on my living room wall that was taken at 12mm that features a Joshua Tree in the foreground and some mountains and clouds behind that I kinda like.I find that such wide lenses are extremely difficult to handle for composition : if you aren't exactly parallel to the front of a building, it get way too easily skewed producing unpleasant results.
