It works quite well Steve. It's like having a 'head in space' view at 16mm. No distortions or seagulls.

The thing to remember with Erfles though is 'black-spot'. That alone often turns people off them. Doesn't bother me. Only takes about 1 minute to learn how to get rid of black-spot, and then the views are great!

And good 2" 32mm Erfles are still relatively cheap.
