Fish-Eye Views with K10D

Here are some Fish-Eye lens experiments: I was given the attachment years ago in USA on a Pentax Club trip by one of the members; it is screwed onto the 52mm filter thread of the 18-55mm kit lens. I have seen these only on a computer screen ; probably look terrible if PRINTS were made ! 6mp JPeg Best setting. Program Exposure.

Excellent colour. I especially like the second picture.

Why do you suppose prints would be "terrible"? And why don't you try? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Re prints; I was given this computer by Sister-in- Law so my kids and I could learn computing stuff; there was an Epson 300 printer with it but sister-in-law's son had messed about with it, hardly used it and inks all dried up so didn't work any more. wife had treated me to an Epson R265 with 'Claria' inks but haven't got it up and working yet - need some help from a computer expert as instructions are not easy to understand.

PM sent, Peter.

So this is more of a fish-eye filter than a dedicated lens? Sounds a cheaper soloution!

Peter,

How about a fun portrait with this? Get in really close!
