These two shots are from the same lens...

taken from 2cm away... so DOF was microscopically thin, hence blur - This baby'll need tripoding in future.

groovy

another weapon to the adsayer's camera arsenal

What is this Sayer? I take it the first one is a crop of the second?

Also on the second whats up with the corners? There is like a blue ring in all corners.

Also ill sway you my siggy for your 70-200 plus some haribo? Deal?

stop buying lenses and get your money together for the ring

neilandhisvtr · 12th August 2008, 20:29

christ youve had more lenses than ive had hot dinners lol

exif gives nothing away 32-80mm focal and f3.5 and 5.6 apertures..

noise ninja at ISO400 tho?

mattchewone · 12th August 2008, 21:14

Sayer what is it dude lol? You got a light meter yet?

No deal. The first one isnt a crop man it's straight off the camera.

yeah yeah. It'll all be sorted. This didnt cost me anything anyways - well not directly.

Yeah sorry no noiseninja was applied... what happened was I shot raw by accident and the last time I used lightroom was when I was configuring NoiseNinja as I'd lost the settings during a reinstall. Anyway when I did an import it used the previous tags (the noiseninja setup pics).

the exif won't give anything away really.

neil, you sticking around after ssc goes live again? shame to lose a person with a photography passion from this section of the forum tbh.

No lightmeter, not really on my list at the moment dude x

neilandhisvtr · 12th August 2008, 23:04

yeah i'll prob stick about, never really had any issues with this place just didnt come over here much..

as long as i dont get banned for defending the other forum when the muppets spark up with the usual BS.. lol

is it a canon? at least give me something to narrow down my guess..

yep I was pretty surprised by the dickish comments as well...

you're partly right... although I don't think you'll get it really. EXIF focal length won't help - I'd love to see the size of the image sensor needed to get a 30mm focal length to generate fisheye wideness lol

this...

plus a canon 28-80 and some adaptor rings...

gives....

neilandhisvtr · 12th August 2008, 23:33

ahh, i seeeee.. bit like a lensbaby then

pretty much man... nothing special but then again cheaper than the £300 I shelled out for a fisheye a few months ago.

the Sanya thing cost me £30 aaaaages ago but never got round to getting the adaptor rings. still need to have a play but I've got a lot of lenses to catch up on now

mattchewone · 12th August 2008, 23:39

Interesting Sayer! Look forward to seeing some more pics.

so do I dude... the original pics are fucking awful.

neilandhisvtr · 12th August 2008, 23:42

i need to play properly with my OM mount manual focus lenses.. trying to find time at the moment is like looking for the flamin holy grail.

should have the speedlite 580 mk2 arrive tomorrow, will have to have a bit of a play with that at work..

Barry123 · 12th August 2008, 23:44

Sweet man... such a nice flash... I broke mine.. .whooopsy, so that needs fixing at some point

(btw Ssc is up now).

Not sure if I could hack manual focus... my eye sight is crap at the best of times.

mattchewone · 12th August 2008, 23:48

Yer im not to great the MF prefer it on AF atleast i know it will be better than me judging. Can never get it just right.

So basically Sayer it screws infront of the 28-80mm and adds fisheye at all lengths?

Barry123 · 13th August 2008, 00:02

it's actually got a right weird thread diameter but that's because it's older than me... I had to use two adaptors to get it to fit a 58mm diameter on the 28-80 (I found that was the best lens I had to get Super Wide on the sensor).

At 28mm you're in between circular and diagonal fisheye at around 32mm you're at diagonal fisheye and beyond 33mm you're at a non-rectilinear wide.

But really the best bit is the MFD (minimum focal distance) which is around 2 cm's I think but I'll test this properly at some point.

And that's basically it!

Cheap and cheerful.

neilandhisvtr · 13th August 2008, 00:06

the OM to EOS converter i have has an AF confirm in it so the AF point(s) flash when its focused properly

mattchewone · 13th August 2008, 00:09

2cm thats crazy!! Looks like fun though. What do you mean Rectilinear wide? Not to sure on this long words lol.
Post up a couple of pictures in a room at 28 then at 80 or something? Really like to see what it looks like.

Will definatly test out the meter against flashes this weekend (hopefully) Going to eastbourne air show sunday!

Yep have a look at Ryans thread on the Sigma 10-20 and the Sigma 10mm.

Both pics are at 10mm but both look very different.

The Sigma 10-20 is a rectilinear wide angle lens... meaning that lines in the horizonal and vertical orientations remain straight and true.

However a non-rectilinear wide angle (a fisheye lens) the lines in the horizonal and vertical orientations curve.

you'll see the difference instantaneously.

mattchewone · 13th August 2008, 00:20

I think i see what you mean mate! Cheers! Will still look forward to seeing some more pics though dude.
