Fish eye lens?

its a normal lens.....simone's car is just shaped all fucked up.








... fish eye lens

What's a decent quality fish eye lens for someone that's on a budget? Also - online purchasing would be nice.

You can do it in photoshop too...

Depends on your 'Budget'

They start from around the 1k mark.

oooo I think I'll keep saving and ask that question later on.

no way.. tokina 10-17mm fisheye ***** cant go rong good qaulity

Your best bet is to go to a camera shop and have a look at them and see how wide you want your lens to be. Just a wide-angle or a real fish-eye lens. There is a big difference.

find a round car

10-17mm...

Ultra-wides like what Tyson is pimping give a fish-eyed look because of the wide lens, angle of view (getting up close) and barrel distortion is always present in these wide lenses but it doesn't really matter because they're so wide anyway.

When talking fish-eye you can get two types, framed and circle. I prefer framed as it technically crops the pic by the sensor by being so wide where as the circular - if i remember right - isn't as wide so it makes the whole circle in the frame.. So basically framed looks like the shot above and circle you see the whole thing and it's vignetted by the sensor so it's like a ball of image on a black rectangle.. err.. yeah that's right..

yea rowan clarance used the fish eye lense. i forget what angle it was tho. just shoot him a pm dude

Should've said I'm with Tyson. UW > Fisheye.

You have some zoom with an UW where as fisheye's are primes. Tokina actually have a few and the Sigma 10-20 is also a popular offering.

nick the tokina i used is a fisheye lol

I thought you were mistaken for the 10-16 which is an UW not a fisheye.

I stand corrected.

How heavy is it and does it finge like a bitch like the UW's from Tokina?

Just photograph Mazda 121's they are all round.

Or VW beetles?

Indeed it does! 14mm FF ftw

my bar is now white and the mesh is silver!!! woo

i call bs on your front bar, its been black for as long as my cortina has been off the road:( really need to sort that out:(

lol, you could have just asked me Rowan but it's a fisheye lens.

Remember though, if you have a crop body sensor, the effects of fisheye are significantly less unless you have a fisheye lens designed for a crop sensor. I think Nikon have one?

Just for kicks, here's another fisheye shot.

they arnt cheap either lol i want one but dont think ill use it that much

Yeah it's one of those party-bag tricks that you can't overuse, or else people start wanting to slit their throats if you show em a gallery full of fisheye shots.

Now that shot there by tangcla is really nice. The rim is the main focal point and i'ts good cause the 4x4 looks like it's a stocker. Notice I said "looks"
