Some wide angle shots
1

Here are some of my wide angle shots.  I'd have to say I'm only just now getting use to it, and so I think I'll have better results in the future.  I used to not use it much, favoring my macro setup, but on my last dive trip I used it for several days straight.  (One of my strobes failed, so I figured I'd get more experience with shooting ambient with wide angle).

I do find it more difficult to use, but partly because I had perhaps the wrong impression of how to use it compared to my macro lens.   Mixed strobe/ambient lighting is a problem, as is dynamic range in ambient if not shallow and sunny.

I also had issues with the edge IQ in all of my wide shots until I added a Sea and Sea Internal Correction Lens to my 16-35.  Made a world of difference.

Some sample wides.
