The 35 F4.5 was this a newer lens with the rubber focusing ring and built 
in filters?

I had the problem your speaking of with a Nikkor 20mm F3.5 UD lens a real 
dog.

>From your comments I would agree that it was a bad lens I'm just saying 
that the Pentax 35 F4.5 I owned was not giving me the results your 
getting.

The Zeiss Lens I mentioned is a CF 30 this will give you a 180/112 FOV 
might be worth renting.

Peter I wonder if you could rent a Hasselblad 903SWC it comes with a 
Zeiss 38mm F4.5 this would give you 90 degree FOV.
