Had a stroll around the local nature reserve tonight, these were taken with the Samyang 8mm fisheye. PP in CS5 using the Topazadjust 4 plugin set to medium HDR effect, very close to what I saw when taking them.

Nice shots

My 8yr old likes them as well - thumbs up from Rhys

Looks like that lens may prove to be pretty good

K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Thank's folks, yes the Samyang is a very good lens for its budget price. It is only manual focus and the AF on the K5 only uses the single central focusing point, but if you focus on something around a metre away everything is in focus.
