Nothing special, just playing with my new Peleng 8mm fisheye lens. What a fun toy!

Here's my entire backyard, I have 2 versions, uncropped and cropped. Here's the uncropped.

And here's the cropped

And just for fun, a little self portrait. Unfortunately the lighting in my room is horrible, so I raised the ISO to 1600.

    So it works with a Canon, eh? Cool! How well does the adaptor fit?

    Oh, just in case you don't want too much fisheye effect from the lens, the PTLens plug-in has a nice fisheye to rectilinear mode.

    The adapter can be a bit tricky to get on and off sometimes. It's actually screwed onto the lens itself via little tiny screws on the side. It took me a few tries to get the hang of getting the lens on and off of the camera without much trouble.

    And thank you for the suggestion with the plug-in. I knew there was a plug-in but I couldn't find the name of it!
