This might sound like a "sour-grape" rant, but I belive that 11mm is as
wide as I need/want to go. I've rarely wished for something wider when
composing a shot, and I have found that too wide sometimes makes
landscape look less spectacular. And of course it is brighter, lighter
and takes filters. The 7-14 is a lottery item, I'll only buy it if I
have money that I have no idea of how to spend. :)
