Here are a few of my favorite Fisheye shots from being in California last week. This is one lens I would have a very hard time parting with.

Cools shots Dave. I don't own one so I can't play along but it would be interesting to see others images. I really like the walkway shot. What is that in the upper right side just above the horizon? It looks like a plane.

Thanks Peter - you are correct it is a plane SFO (San Fransisco) Aiport is just off to the left.

The second shot is really cool - guess that means you were having a ball in CA.

Nice shots. I like #2 best. #1 could be improved by leveling the horizon.

Can you get any wider?!?
It's amazing how much you can squeeze into a rectangular photo with this lens.
And these shots suited this lens - as I've found too, some buildings fit in but with too much room above/below it (as in #1).

Cool captures Dave.

Thanks Ash - I think Sigma has a 8mm for Pentax 10 for me is as wide as I can go
