Some shots from my first time under the DA10-17 influence yesterday. Fishy fun stuff!

(Don't worry I won't always post this many shots.. Just thought I'd do a cannon ball into the fish bowl...)

(this one was my selection for the day in the April Single In lens challenge)

Great series Todd. Looks like you are infected, it is a terrific lens for sure.

Did I mention that I absolutely love this lens!? I am having so much freaking fun with this thing I can hardly stand it. You're lucky I have self restraint because I could flood this page with images lol...

Thought I'd share this one that is taking a ride on flickr explore today... (also x-posted in the Single In April challenge and the alphabet game)

I like this one! Good to have a quality pentax picture in explore...

And your previous post: I love the first one with the light traces . That's one of the things I planned to for years, but didn't do yet...

And as for reflections: come and visit the netherlands: lots of water for reflections ( if its not windy)

Fisheye or corrected lens, which is better , you be the judge...

DA 10-17 fisheye. Looks like a barn roof.

Sigma 8-16 (corrected to keep the straight lines straight)

Awesome images, Todd.

Some excessive and fun PP with the Zenitar 16

Really enjoy the Pentax 10-17 fisheye. Always have it with me because there is always a subject matter that it will do justice. Like this skate boarder in downtown Wellington.

Absolutely!

Great shot & congrats! The Zenitar is a FF lens, hence not as fishy on APS-C. Here's a few more, xposted from the Soviet Lens Club:
