Thanks, Margaret. I have the lens--I took it off our enlarger at the office (we don't use it any more) and all I need is the set of bellows... on its way from E-bay. Because it was on an enlarger, the lens doesn't have a proper focussing helicoid. It'll be "macro only" which is fine with me. Can't wait to capture some nice flowers...

Really interesting perspective, using the wide angle lens for great results, and such great colours. The canopy and lights look so similar to the 'canopy and lights' in 'My first Attempt at Night photography' which was taken on an old railway station, where we took Den for his birthday Margaret I want to thank you for your very kind comment, I cannot imagine how such an amateur like me can inspire someone like yourself, I am most flattered. Hope you soon get your lens and really enjoy it

Brad, that's exactly what everyone does when they first get a fisheye lens. I did it too. But it soons turns into a cliche. But hey, it isn't a cliche the first few times you do it, and you're right about it looking good! Thanks for the comment. I mostly try to avoid the "in your face" fisheye look and be a bit subtle about it these days.

I actually quite like these type of shots but if it were me, I would emphasize the fisheye effect even more by finding something to make even more prominent in the foreground. Here the vege stall itself could take on monster proportions compared to the background.

I love the 'curving' produced by the lens. Very good
