He continues to talk about how they exaggerate perspective and the myth of distortion. Their drawbacks are also discussed, with problems such as getting your feet in the picture. He also looks at correcting such issues in Photoshop. Besides addressing the potential difficulties of shooting wide-angle, he speaks about their benefits too.
