I have been considering it.  Usually, I shoot scenery using lenses in
the 35-200 range.  I just started using a 24 a few months ago.  

In the past, I would tend to frame with the lens pointed downward to
minimize exposure to the sky and to increase a sense of perspective
(depth).  However, when I do this, I tend to notice objects close to be
to get a little bendy.  The only way I found to minimize this was to
just keep everything level.
