Title: very cool use of the 10.5mm Nikon fisheye
Post by: Frank in JC on September 18, 2007, 01:46:21 PM

Take a look what you can do with an image taken by this lens: with the right software, you can literally unbend it!  Roll your mouse over the photo at the bottom of the page for a before-and-after.  I'm a wide-angle nut, so this is extremely cool to me.

Very nice.  So the real question is do you have one?  I've never been a huge fan of the non rectilinear wide angles, but this looks pretty cool

I'm saving my pennies for a 722 or 744T, so I've been avoiding trips to B&H!  I'd get it in a heartbeat, especially considering what the software can do with the images.  It's not the kind of lens you can use a whole lot, but when you do take a nice picture with it, it's dramatic as hell.  More or less a really cool toy I suppose.
