NOW you have hit on the REAL problem...
Takes days to decide on the set for a particular
job, and by then the weather has changed and a
new selection must be made... This *is* a real
problem....!;-) For fun shooting, though, I grab

with only the 16mm fisheye on a small camera
body - worked fine...;-).
