    A little fishey?

    I just got off the phone with the photo store I frequently use and rented myself a 16mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for a full week. I've been dying to play with one of these for a long time and I finally decided I should rent one for a week and see what it's like. I really can't wait to get off of work today and pickup this thing up. I'll be posting some stuff for sure. =)

    Re: A little fishey?

    I have a 16mm fisheye lens and it's a lot of fun in the right situation. Not a lens I use a lot because the affect gets old fast, but once in a while, it adds a new look to some old landscapes. I got mine on ebay for a little over $100 I think. It's been a few years. If your interested in an inexpensive fisheye, do a search for Zenitar on ebay.
