In 1973 Nikon announced it is bringing out a 15mm/5.6 super wide angle lens, ever since that time I wanted one, finally the price dropped. Here is my first try.

Mike, you know I think your work is some of the best I've seen on the Hog and these shots all have your unique signature. I just think this lens is a bit soft around the edges.
Still great viewing, Mike. :)

Thank you very much for your kind comment. I agree but for a 47 year old relic it is good enough. It never could match any present day super wide lenses.
