John,

Great photographs.

What time of day was the first one taken and can you let us have the technical info' for each one ?

Well I have taken the plunge and ordered a DA 10-17 from Chris @ SRS.

It should arrive on New Year's Eve.

Having studied many photographs taken with both the DA 10-17 and the Sigma 10-20, I was drawn to the creative opportunities offered by the fish-eye.

..............I have the Sigma 10-20 as well and it gives very different results to the 10-17 although both are excellent.
Thanks for the information. Thanks also to John.

Presumably having both lenses was intentional rather than buying one of them and then deciding that you really needed the other one ?

Not yet I' sorry to say - too many things to do and too little time....

John,

This is probably a daft question, but is the DA 10-17 a fisheye throughout its entire range or only down towards the 10mm end

I've only just taken delivery of one, but feedback will follow very soon.

It is very well made.

Anyone know if its in stock anywhere yet ??

Pete
I purchased mine in August

It was very straightforward for those on the forum who did not prevaricate earlier in the year

Give Chris @ SRS a call and order one.

Out for a walk today and crossed under the M3 near the Hockley Viaduct. The early light was reflecting off the Itchen.......
How did you manage to find sun today ?

It only seemed to be around fleetingly.

How much correction was done to the M3 photo ?

Taken handheld from a floating pontoon - 1/60 sec. F2.8.

A standard JPEG as it came out of the camera.

The sunrise photograph was taken at deck level from a yacht.

The two horizontal lines are the boat's guardlines.

The moonshot was taken from a floating pontoon.

Both shots are handheld ( 1/1000 sec. F8 and 1/2 sec. F2.8 ) and are standard JPEG's as they came out of the camera.
