Rokinon 8mm

A lot of my photos are dark, gloomy and "dramatically" lit, so I figured it was time for a break from that.

A couple days ago I posted a photo of my cheap 500MM lens. At the other end of my cheap lens collection is this Rokinon 8mm fish eye lens.

I mentioned that my 500mm was possibly the least useful lens I own. This 8mm lens is the other contender for that title.

Yes, it's useful in more situation than the 500mm lens, but I just don't use it very much, and I very rarely carry it around with me when I go out.

Now that I've show you the lens, I have to throw it on the camera and find something to photograph through it.

that will be interesting :)

I've got one of these, they're fun... I must dig mine out again too!

I shall look forward to that. Intrigued to see what it is appropriate for. I only have one lens and it is a 16-300mm zoom. Like the way GM is rolling it along here and I like to see the brightness from you too!

Wonderful composition. Really like the implied movement.

fab dynamic shot... i take my fishy eye out for a stroll every now and then... yeah - it ain't high art, but it's fun to play with :)

What a great pose to make it look so realistic. Excellent concept and lighting

I have one of these (8mm) as well. Very limited in its use, but it is fun now and then to fiddle with.
