Originally posted by savoche It's not that fishy on the K-1 either. A bit cropped at the bottom here, though. Some decorative flaring with the sun in the frame.
Here's a "golden hour" shot taken at 1 pm
Beautiful! When I first bought my Zenitar 16/2.8, I never figured it would pass muster for high resolution media on 24x36 format, but actual use has proved my assumption wrong. In regards to fishiness, how fishy depends on the orientation of lines to the lens axis. A level camera will always have a straight horizon. Likewise all straight lines that intersect the vanishing point for a level camera will also be straight. This behavior is typical for all 180 diagonal fisheyes. Tilt the camera a little and all goes crazy.
