The large majority of photos in the sample were shot with digital cameras that produce between a 1.3 to 1.7 crop factor. When you take that into account the fisheye doesn't show much line bending at all since you've taken only the center portion of the image. The resulting image looks like it was produced with an approximately, (keeping in mind that you can't really do a crop factor calculation to the equivalent AOV comparisons between 35mm and smaller sensors due to the non linearity of the fisheye to begin with), 20mm lens with very bad barrel distortion as opposed to a "real" fisheye.

Amita... What's the link to those pics? I just received the
Zenitar and would also like to look at some other uses for the fisheye beyond the crazy/weird effect.

Oh, I love the distortion, and I've been wanting a fisheye for a
while. The photos I saw on Pbase last night showed me the creative potential of using a fisheye beyond just showing off the fisheye effect. Plus, I can always de-fish the shots. :)
I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
