In the days when I was into serious snapping I loved using this Nikkor 13mm wide angle lens. It produced perfectly square images if you got the angles right. The most impressive lens I ever used. A good second hand example would cost £3,500 today.....

When I was young we swore by Lintox tonic for dogs but it doesn't exist now. I don't know what was in it but it was good stuff!
The modern use of the Term Lintox applies to a powerful insecticide used on large beasts.
