Interior picture of Cap-de-la-Madeleine Basilica, taken with a tripod-mounted Pentax 645Z + FA 33-55 mm f/4.5. The Church was very dark and required a 10 second exposure time @ f/11 to open up the shadows. There were very few people visiting because of the pandemic. The temperature inside was cool and pleasant while outside it was 38 deg C (100 deg F).

Good image and very interesting, the center pews seem to lower than the others? What would be the capacity of the Basilica? It also looks like there are 2 pulpits?

There's room for over 1000 seated people inside the Basilica and the pews are all similar, just an optical illusion. I was trying this new lens I bought last week on eBay, using its widest angle of view (@ 33 mm) and every f/stops between f/5.6 and f/32. I also tried a vertical version and surprisingly, f/11 was best horizontally but f/5.6 proved best vertically. I'll have to do more testing, I guess. A man's work is never done, as my neighbor said ... lol !

Regards
