Tetanus is a serious and often fatal disease caused by the neurotoxin tetanospasmin which is produced by the Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection usually originates from a contaminated wound, often a cut or deep puncture wound. Common symptoms are muscle spasms in the jaw (hence the common name lockjaw), followed by difficulty swallowing and general muscle stiffness in other parts of the body. Infection can be prevented by proper immunization, as well as by post-exposure prophylaxis.
Tetany refers to a state of muscle tension.

@Tetanus I don't shoot weddings all the time. Only for friends. I love land/cityscapes.

@lucian If it's for weddings, the TS-E could be a tad unwieldy, given you'd need to tweak for shift effects. For 14mm, don't get the Mk I.

@Tetanus Thanks for the feedback on the 17tse. Might get the 14mm instead. Borrowed one saw quite a bit of use at a wedding I shot for.
