3. How much distortion does the GWC1 wide converter add? I'd like to get one and use the combo for astro if possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Also thanks to the previous owner of this lens for taking such good care of it and then trading it in.

It doesn't add much distortion at all, even at short range. For astro, you'd never see it. I'm planning to use the combination in a week or two for some Milky Way shots, and will compare them to the 7.5mm fisheye - which will have some distortion for sure, but I don't expect it to be very noticeable. First I have to find the Milky Way .....
