Jasper

MX veteran thanks very much for the link. How do you like the lens ?

MX veteran that 70 Sigma has been on my wish-list for quite a while but the lowest UK price I have found is around £260.

Would you like to divulge your source at £219 ?

Merry Christmas everybody and a happy new year.

This is Jasper - not wanting to get up on these cold mornings.

Like the Little (Big) Mermaid...

I bought the split image screen from the same dealer around 3 months ago, fitted it to DL2 and its just fine. A bonus was that it has the wee tab so cant be fitted wrongly.

And its fun......

Many thanks for the replies. Ammonyte the grad is just done in photoshop, i dont have a filter big enough for this lens yet.

I included the second pic to show (more tests required) that the fisheye distortion is only visible if you want it to be and the fantastic blue sky rendering - almost as if a polariser was used. (only my humble opinion of course - willing to be reprimanded)

Distortion required

Or have i too simple a view perhaps ?

Help - imageshack gives multiple codes for images, which is the correct one to paste here ?
