I will say ONE thing, though. Out of all the lenses I have ever owned, shooting ultra-wide is more fun
than any other kind of shooting I do, except for nude glamour with ANY lens. There was a time when
I would walk up to a woman in a bar and hand her my card and offer to shoot her nude. You'd be surprised
how often I was able to complete the sale.

If I tried doing that, I'd probably end up getting shot.

Being a 8mm fisheye the DOF if so large that you really don't have to MF unless it's something really close. The lens body is all metal too.

And one of my co-shooter, Gus. He works with me and the one that really got me back into this.

Hey, now, I was not saying anything sarcastic about SAMYANG....I was only saying what a great name it is....
SAMYANG, it is fun to say. I have some Nikkor lenses that are embarassingly BAD. The test of a lens is
how it performs mounted to a camera. I was not capping on your lens, Justin... In fact, after spending a
day in the French Quarter shooting, not only do i want to drive 6 hours and do it again today, but I was knocked
OUT by the performance of my ultra-wide lens. NEVER have I had a lens SO FUN TO SHOOT.

WOW, apparently yesterday was a magic day for shooting. I had to drive down to LA for a funeral, and I couldn't
get out of the funeral fast enough, it was in Baton Rouge, and drive over to New Orleans and park ANYWHERE
and just shoot, shoot, shoot. I swear once I saw the results, I was SO ANGRY that I did not take a laptop and
just pay for a motel and shoot today, too. The sky was absolutely PERFECT for shooting. The cameras,
ehh, they didn't perform so well. The D100 was all over the place in terms of exposure, and even if I WANTED
to constantly monitor and adjust it, the LCD is too small to even SEE what you have, so I just shot away and
hoped for the best. The D70 did very well, but of course, it had the 10-20mm on it.

Wish I could have been further back on this one to include the whole guy. I just liked this one



I figured i would just leave this one un-adulterated....it could use about.8 CCW rotation. It just shows the power
of the wide angle. I am nearly on the sidewalk in front of this huge building



I know these shots are not very "French Quarter"....I have hundreds of great shots of that kind of stuff, too.
I just think these shots are cool.
