Pentax Fisheye Worst Lens EVER!

Pentax Fisheye Worst Lens EVER! · 04:34 AM

..... for portraits, that is!

I think Dave will agree.

I'm just in a silly mood verging on depression as almost every picture I took this weekend did not turn out. I forgot my damn tripod so I have lots of unfocused blurry pics. It was Mom's 80th birthday nothing too important.

Sadly, the self portrait did! I was inspired by Dave's post about his birthday gift. I like this lens for many reasons but certainly not for portraits!

Feel free to post any of your own fisheye lens portraits - self or others.

LOL

It is a fun lens and I like its dramatic effect.

God, you almost gave me a fright til the image is loaded up.

paden501 · 02-04-2008, 05:08 AM

hahahahaha

I love the big nose affect.

**distorted_vision** · 02-04-2008, 05:12 AM

hahh,, jeez, now theres some portraits id pay money for!!! have you concidered doing wedding close ups with the FE lense , haha!!

skaktuss · 02-04-2008, 06:20 AM

No, no FE is the the best portrait lens. I wish I could see more FE portraits here.

I'd pay your money for some but not my own. Whew that's frightening stuff.

I'll bet you did need a smile Pat. Hard to watch that offense (or lack there of) and front line protection last night. (not to hijack the thread with football)

Wow go away for a weekend and the amount of posts are incredible ! I think this thread should have a warning and disclaimer that it may scare small children. Awesome portrait Jeff ! Between our noses we could measure first downs at a football game

Come one come all with he fisheye - the bar has been set hahah.

Bramela · 02-04-2008, 12:11 PM

Very interesting shots, even hilarious. We should start a thread, The weirdest, funniest or most frightening self portraits perhaps these two shots have a head start. (pun intended)

detour: Pat, at the end of the game I thought of one very disappointed person for sure.
Must say that Giants defence was very effective on closing your boys down.

man i really need to clean my glasses more often LOL man did this make me laugh

tdmsu · 02-04-2008, 12:32 PM

Hey! Don't make fun of those of us with great big noses!

Great perspective shots...

I am kind of surprised that no paparazzi use those to make their flattering photos!

thomasjmpark · 02-04-2008, 02:30 PM

Wow, that does kinda scare me

Good use of the lens, although if you hadnt told me it was a fish eye i would forever have gone on thinking your nose was that big

Thanks for a chuckle

little laker · 02-04-2008, 02:54 PM

I don't see anything wrong with any of those pictures

Could you imagine through the Sigma 4.5mm F2.8 EX DC Circular Fisheye

**xs400** · 02-04-2008, 03:26 PM

Oh man!!! Those are funny. Thanks for sharing.

Duh_Vinci · 02-04-2008, 06:26 PM

Thanks for a good laugh! And I thought my Sigma 15mm was "odd" on the portraits...

Regards,
