It’s hard to concentrate on an image when there is too much distortion, and that is what happens when a wide angle is used incorrectly. A hand can become bigger than a head, portions are disproportionally stretched, and it detracts from your subject … and your message. I appreciate that sometimes you might be in a tight space, trying to capture an area, or a group of people, but if all I see is the distortion, sorry but that’s a fail. I’m not saying don’t try, but me mindful of anything under a 35mm lens, and understand what you are doing. There are other options. Try only shooting a portion of the scene, the most interesting aspect of the scene. Be mindful of that lens distortion.
