Just picked up the WCL for my X100T and enjoyed my first outing with it to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville PA. I felt that the wider lens was, truly, notably wider. So worth the money to me.

I got there early (before open) so had a good hour to myself. There were plenty of moments that made me stop to collect myself. Some amazing people gave us the gift of their lives that morning. I'd recommend you check out the transcript of Tom Burnett's call with his wife that morning: http://www.tomburnettf​oundation.org/transcri​pt.html (external link)

"Deena: What about the authorities?
Tom: We can’t wait for the authorities. I don’t know what they could do anyway.
It’s up to us. I think we can do it."

4) Never. Forget. At 10:03:11, near Indian Lake and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the plane crashed.

8) The crash site is in front of the tree line, stretching right to left. There is a boulder roughly in the center of this image that marks the initial point of impact.

Such a somber place.
Thank you for sharing.

Being part of the chaos on that fateful day in the NYC area, it stirs a lot of memories.
