Gorgeous image Mike.
Exemplary.
The CA is no doubt expected with the amount of refraction those light rays have to go through to hit the sensor, but it's worth the fix in PP - as we can see with your image.

Still experimenting with this "subject." I agree that purple fringing is a big problem with this the DA 10-17 FE. I use Aperture, and I have yet to find an easy way to remove it using that software.

Took the Samyang 8mm for a walk recently and tried to take some nature HDR photos with it

Downfall, those worked brilliantly - they're like wall paintings.
Beautifully textured.

Damn Ash, I almost spewed orange juice all over my monitor when I saw that! Thanks for the morning laugh.

It's a really great shot BTW.

This doesn't look "fishy" but it is the DA 10-17 @10mm believe it or not.

Thanks guys.
One of the reasons I decided to take a photo of a men's dunny!

Interesting how extreme FE landscapes don't look so fishy when the horizon's central, eh Mike...

Wow, such noce photos in this thread. Those HDRs are fantastic Downfall!

I just joined the club today. Got a cheap Rokinon because it just looked fun. Here are a few of the first shots I took at lunch. Incidentally my cat showed up to say hello (this is 1/4 Mi or so away from my house).

When the camera is level, the horizon stays straight. Ditto for any other lines that intersect the lens axis.

Jets are kinda cool. This is the SR-71 Blackbird, from the back, at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian) at Dulles International Airport, Washington, DC, with the 10-17 fisheye.

I'm currently working my way through a little over 6,700 photos shot at Disney World last month, with a large number of fisheyes in the mix. Here's a few, all from the 10-17mm on the K-5.
