p.1 #1 · D700 and a Zenitar 16mm...again


Alright, I thought I would give the Zenitar Fisheye($150 lens) another try to see if the last go around was just a fluke.
Man what a cool little lens. It is sharp from f2.8 up. Here a is a shot I did to see what it would look like de-fished.
Again, I'm not a landscape guy but this thing makes me want to get out and see what I can do with it. These were defished with NX.

I'm also interested with this lens for the longest time. Did you use fisheye hemi to defish the picture? Have you used it for indoor shots?

Wow, what a nice little lens and such a good price. Makes me wonder why I should save for the Nikkor.

For $150, cool little lens. I can't believe people really bought Owens jerseys,

That's what jumped out at me. And there I was thinking I'd feel sorry for Buffalo fans when they lose their NFL team.

Yeah, I think it's only a little ways away for Toronto to get it.

Are the Bills going somewhere? I am originally from Buffalo, but had not heard anything about this. Care to elaborate?

It's just that the Bills have started playing regular seasons games in Toronto.

Where did both of you Darrens buy your 16mm? I'd like to get one for my D700. Checking eBay I'm seeing goshotcamera (USA) and moscowphoto (Russia). Any other options?

TIA.......Don

Thanks Darren.

I can’t believe this thread is still alive. It was revived almost a year to the day. I really like this lens. It is one of my sharpest and contrasty lenses that I have.
I bought mine here on FM for around $125 but it had a broken lens cap so I bought a Nikon 10.5mm cap and modified it to fit. Here is one from this weekend taken at the new Cowboys stadium. The stadium is one of the most amazing sites that I have ever seen. Oh yeah and the Cowboys won !
Here is a shot with the lens from this weekend.
Thanks,
Darren
