lolololol
messing round with my new 10-17mm fisheye. Its extremely nice, and suprisingly sharp both wide open and not. Nice focus - 14cm close focus.
The images here dont really show it cause the beach ones I was shooting at F/8 so my exposure was roughly.. 1/10 or slower. This, handheld, is hard, even with pentax's shake reduction on (which makes around 3-4 stops difference)
Some serious shots in a few days when we have some nice weather. Also got a modelling photoshoot, two band photoshoots coming up, so look out for them :)
OHBTW
I dont look like the third image
its manipulated to fuck up my skin to make it look nasty :)
and also the fisheye has made my features odd - big nose :D hahah

Yeah it is rabies
Heres some aperture comparrissons to shop the sharpness of the lens at F/4.5, F/8, and F/32 at 17mm (the minumum, maximum, and optimum apertures). The crops are at 100%
As you can see it is pretty much sharp throughout, with the lens perfoming exceptionally wide open. A drop in contrast and a softer image, though with boosted colours is produced by the small aperture, F/32.
And heres a 25% size of the full image taken, lit by the light in my room (no flash). Same picture as previous F/8 crop.
Yes that is pretty sharp! Very nice lens. The photos look cool also, I guess you'll be the experimental photographer around here then. :P

My friend just bought a fisheye a few days ago. Coincidence? I THINK...so. Yeah, I love the pictures. I'd totally sex that tree, for lack of a better verb. Also, the way the lens distorts your face really fits the theme of the photo.
