Excellent photoing, too, of course. I like that you got colour out of the Orion Nebula in the night photo. Do you find having a wide angle like that helps your photos quite a bit, or does it not add much when you're out doing photography?

I find more and more I just have my fast normal pancake on and never really use a wider or longer lens. I've never really had one wider than 28mm though I've been wanting one for a long time. Though I guess I do have a 9mm body (18mm equivalent) fisheye lens from Olympus, I don't quite count it, since it's mostly to just have on the body while I'm not doing anything. It's also super soft in the corners.

Since I moved from Canon, my lens choices have gone way down, practically. In order to get a nice wide angle like that, I'd need to drop $700 and it still wouldn't be wide enough.

I could get a 7.5mm fisheye lens and just defisheye it in lightroom or something. Do you think that's a good choice? What would you do?
