This is a post about photography plus trigonometry. I remember half joking with my math teachers in high school, asking “why do we need to learn this?

While cleaning one of my camera sensors, I noticed my incredibly pocketable and convenient 12mm f/2. 0 Olympus lens developed a fatal flaw. A rather large reflective fragment became dislodged inside the lens and was robbing me of precious photons.
