With a smile on my face I am happy to announce that last night will be the last time I use the wide angle Adapter for my 18-55. Designed for film, the quality of image is bad but it was just too much fun not to play with. It gave some very cool shots, so much fun that I had to overlook the severe quality issues. The wider the F Stop, the worse it got. It was worth about $60 and it is one of those "you get what you pay for"
Here is an old shot with it
This one from tonight
and the last shot I will ever take with this lens adapter
and it will be retired to Moose's bag for him to play with...(Remember, Tripod and stop
it WAYYY down Moose!)
On Monday I will receive my new Opteka 6.5mm f/3.5 Manual Focus Aspherical Fisheye Lens for Canon. On Full frame it is 180 DEGREES!!!! on my camera it will be 170across and less vertically. Can You Say COCKPIT SHOTS????? YEA BABY!
I can not wait to have fun! The lens itself is branded with 5 different names but the maker is the same. This is sold under this brand for $299.00 and is a STEAL! Quality is ok wide open but when you stop it down it is suppose to be tack sharp. I have seen reviews that show full sized photos when I was looking into it and could not believe how close the quality was to some of the +$1000.00 Len's photos that were posted. If I had tons of extra cash, I do not think I would buy the Sigma over this. I am really excited and want to ask... What is your widest Lens?
