Thank you for your replies!

Great! Have fun!

Best advise i can offer for using an ultra-wide:

Avoid simply thinking of it as a way of it as a way of "getting in everything". Such shots are both busy and boring. Just as you would do with an normal or telephoto lens, KNOW YOUR SUBJECT (which is NOT "everything") and use the characteristics of that lens in a way that best reveals your subject. It's a very different mindset from long lenses. and takes practice. One thing you can do, however, is to study other photographs made with superwide lenses and determine why any given shots works or does not work.

Best of luck
