Originally posted by mikesbike Sometimes this little lens is the only way to get everything in when shooting space is minimal, so it is necessary to put up with some imperfections. I have even used it for a selfie plus one other included, with my little K-S2's selfie feature- camera held in reverse at arms length!
I have selfies from this lens also. Centered a person isn’t too bad if you aren’t on top of them. It’s the edges and framing a group I worry about.
Look at my hands and my head in this shot:

My hands are exaggerated in size because they are closer to the lens. If this was a group shot around a square table, the two people on the side of the table would be larger than the person opposite my seat.
Contrast with this where I’m close but not as close as my hands were.

I’m mostly centered which helps.
Or this cat: trust me he isn’t skinny at all.

Incidentally I’ve lost a lot of weight since these shots were made. I don’t think about it until I see it in old photos.
