Very cool, it's really interesting how perspective changes as you really start to get up close to things. Don't write it off as a serious lens though, you'd be surprised just how much you can get away with in scenic shots where there aren't to many man made objects for reference. Put the horizon straight through the centre of the lens and no one will be any the wiser. I used my fisheye on the *ist D to shoot my ex's baby sisters wedding the other day. Of course the *ist D crops the bad distortion off the edges and I can turn them into a regular WA shot with special photoshop plug-ins however many of the shots worked in the fisheye format. The following shot I made right up close in really limited space, 2nd from the left is my better half Ger, then my ex's mum and dad (yes it's all very civil). http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/IMGP0092.jpg This shot is a candid of the bride being the boss as she normally is: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/IMGP0334.jpg Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
