vdschoor 0 #26 March 30, 2006 QuoteNice! What kind of lens is that? Just picked up a 14mm Sigma (non-fisheye). Figured it would be cool for shots like the one you just took! Jeff It looks much wider than that actually.. This is a photo I took with a 8mm Peleng lens.. The reason I say this is because of the edges of the frame, the 14mm won't do that.. and this is definately a circular fisheye photo.. This is one with the circular as well, but with the edges cropped off.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeiber 0 #27 March 30, 2006 QuoteThis is a photo I took with a 8mm Peleng lens Holy Crap! 8mm?! Now THAT's wide! After looking at these pictures, I can't wait till Saturday! I'll have to rig up some kind of 'dummy cord' though. Brand spankin' new D70. I'm terrified of dropping it... Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

vdschoor 0 #34 March 30, 2006 QuoteThat's a small canopy you got there. Yeah I am working with PD on the smallest Sabre2 ever flown.. this one is about 40sq ft.. Its one of the funny effects of using a wide angle.. things that are a bit further away seem smaller and smaller.. Here are some shots from that jump http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/album.jsp?aid=768a5498cf5a6ffe8097 most of the photos are taken with that 8mm fisheye.. (the tracking jump was with my regular 15mm) People were literally flying in my face in some of these shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, the Canon 10-22mm is lighter than most zoom and fixed lenses, according to the specs. It is 380g, according to the Canon website. The Sigma website quotes their 14mm at 630g. Not sure that's going to feel any lighter. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a little heavier than the kit lens, but I cant even notice it once its on my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #38 March 31, 2006 There was a similar thread awhile back. One of my favorite pictures from that thread was a picture of Arvel in the reflection of the tandem master's goggles.

rhys 0 #45 April 2, 2006 Yeah on jump shack tandem harness there is a belly band i'm sure? old vector and next student harness' dont have a belly or back strap. that dude would have been choking when the canopy opened a good old natural arch on that one, no chance of ending up on your back taking that fellow."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
