And I was focusing mostly on using my ultra-wide. At intermission I kind of stopped and reassessed what I was doing and realized I was really looking forward to using the fisheye. And I've done that now, and it's been very interesting. I have a 15-mm fisheye and my ultra-wide is a 16-35. It's only a 1 mm difference between the fisheye and the widest angle on my 16-35, but there's more than just the focal length there.
