Hi Jimmy
I used to be into mountainbiking and all the shots were like this(in the mags), try takin a piccy of a car in mid flight over a double it looks like the gap is massive you might have to experiment a little but when you get it right it looks f--kin good m8.

aye, that would be nice.. sadly this lens is borrowed and he does magazine stuff / setting up his own magazine, so uses it all the time. Do fancy getting one though some time, they are really expensive so might be a while.
good job it has a little lens hood on it, i bumped it into the car a couple of times trying to get closer!

Jimmy.

Not sure what were looking at here. Just looks like you've not followed the instructions when assembling Vicky's car ?

Or has she pranged it already, wrapped it around the odd lampost perhaps ?

Seriously though, can't you by a fisheye 'add-on' lens for cheap money, one that attatched to your standard lens ? Fancy one of them myself I do.

you can get wide angle adaptors, but not sure you can get a true fisheye ?? i guess you cant get the same quality as this lens anyway, very nice it is, i think all proper fisheyes are quite expensive.

the fisheye would be nice for taking track photos, lot easier than photo stitching anyway

I'll be ok... Mrs oOple would have to buy me a 2wd car before being able to kick my arse :wink:

Anyway this thread is meant to be about fishy eyed lens things!

A fish eye is one lense I've always wanted to play with.
