fisheye or not to fisheye
 

how many of you have a fisher.

ive always wanted one and jsut got a rather hefty tax rebate, so thinking of getting one but not sure if i will use it as much as i think i will.

so if any of you have one, how often do you use it, and do you enjoy using it.

I use it every week.

And love it like my 70-200L

sweet, i think for the stuff i like to shoot it will be pretty good, will be shit fucking hot for doing skate stuff too

diagonal I use not 360

no im looking at the tokina 10-17.

think the circular ones look a little pap, its all fall-off

i had a sigma 10.5, loved it

bmx shots were mint with it

get it brad!

edit: e.g


disclaimer: not taken by me

I'd never use one enough to justify it. Yep it has a unique take on the subject but the shots get repetitive and :bored : very quickly. Hence why I only have an adaptor.

i also have an adaptor as i shoot alot of cars so gets abit boring realy

shooting cars in general gets boring after 5mins I find, even with rigs as you are limited to the same angles over and over in most cases.

By an adaptor do u mean something like this? CLICK ME I have been looking at one of these for a while but did not know the quality.

pretty much dude. although mine is older than me so i cant comment about the quality! but expect it to be shite :cool:

This is with my dads old fish eye attachment. Please bare in mind it is dark i am using a high ISO and i havent played around with it much so i know nothing about it.

dont know if this is any interest to any of you guys, theses are a few pics of experimentation i did as part of some uni stuff, anyways all the pics are just reflections from shooting into a chrome ball (garden ornament) thought you might be interested in the results. obviously if you were using it properly you would shoot at an angle so not to be in the reflection (however in my case i was ment to be in it lol, some crap about human vs nature)

that's class Jim!

jim there shit hot dude.

i tried this once with a chrome boules ball but it was well scratched so didnt work so well.

How I love having a proper fisheye and not having a dodgy attachment :y:

Vignetting and IQ dropping doesnt do it for me personally

2nd one in jims set really rocks to

You're probably not shooting on a Nikon body but if you are the Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 is a great piece of glass :y:

Yup it was old and free. That does it for me lol. I've had it for ages and not used it so i thought id give it ago, I might give it ago in proper light and see what its like.

Wow! :clapping:
