Playing around with the TT Artisan 7.5mm Fisheye, these from a few months ago. It surprises me how "rectilinear" it can seem when you hold it level and square to the subject. But it's so freaking wide, you definitely need to mind your fingers as can be seen in image 2 . Person left for scale in image 1 -- I'm maybe 10 yards away from him. I don't know how much I'll actually use it, but it's cheap enough and more than capable enough that it's easy to have on hand just in case...
Yesterday I went to Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge here in New York City and chose to set up in a location that I'd seen this Northern Harrier last week. When I spotted the Harrier I had just taken a photo at infinity and with the close subject and focused at infinity wide open the camera did not even try to hunt. I quickly tilted down to the water below the Harrier and it started to focus so I tilted back on and bang on focus. This is the first frame of my burst.
