on fish-eyes - Heiko

[jan lameer]

Hi Heiko !

A very good testreport on fish-eye lenses can be found at

http://360vr.com/fisheye41/coastal-fisheyep.pdf

If I remember well the Peleng 8mm circular fish-eye sells for about 350 Euro new. The main problem with cheap fish eyes is flare. And that is bad news for photographing halo's etcetera.
But I'd say it is not a bad idea to start with a cheap Russian fish-eye. Shooting with these lenses is pretty hard, and I'd say it takes a year before you are very comfortable with fish-eye lenses.

succes !
