One of the strong points of a 17mm focal length lens is its rectilinear lens design that produces straight lines as straight lines without distortion. It is, therefore, a perfect choice for photographing in tight quarters with a restricted camera-to-subject distance. Buildings with many straight lines are natural subjects for this FD 17rnm lens. Photographing a building from a direct angle with the camera held level will result in a natural looking, undistorted image. But the New FD 17mm f/4 is not a lens intended just for outdoor photography. You may also find it indispensable for indoor photography, particularly where the subject - an interior, for example - is large and the working distance is severely limited.
