Fisheyes should be shaved

Das 10,5er Nikkor auf der DrehbankI have been an amateur photographer since more than 30 years - but it took me 28 years to come to a fisheye lens.
Both, the very spectacular perspective and the expected low cost-benefit ratio seemed, the expenses are not justified.
Now, from the viewpoint of Panorama Photography, things changed completely. While prices for Fisheyes dropped a lot, those lenses are really great for Panorama Photography - and highly valuable.

 

MiniKISS - what a baby

A perfect combination... for selected compact cameras

The small Sigma DP1 is a great camera in retro-look - and with the short wide-angle fix focal length it is a superb camera for Panorama Photography.

Not only real-estade agents and mountain climber will love it
- if there is a suitable nodal point adapter available.
