Zee 0 #1 April 20, 2008 Just got one as a gift the other day. I haven't had a chance to skydive with it yet but, it is one awesome little lens. Took some pictures of the pooch in the back yard. Pudgy She's a fun little dog but she hates to be photographed. She either looks away, walks away, or she lays down and gives me the shark eye like this lol Shark Eye I used my Sigma 15mm a lot for tandems before I switched to Nikon. It'll be fun to see how the skydiving shots turn out with this thing especially since you can "un-fishify" the pictures using Nikon Capture software Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zee 0 #3 April 20, 2008 I like the shot from above. Kinda makes the earth look like a globe. It's a fisheye after all - not really meant to be used on every skydive. But they do have a lot of other uses besides skydiving. Landscapes, buildings, inside tight spaces like automobiles. Very handy lens to have in your camera bag.....

dragon2 2 #4 April 20, 2008 Hah hah I get the globe thing a lot even with my 16mm fisheye, "see, the earth is round!!" ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's funny when some people think they are actually seeing the curvature of the earth! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velocityphoto 0 #8 April 29, 2008 What is the field of view with the nikon 1.5 crop factor? I'm considering the new sigma 10 mm for canon digital.It has a field of 163 . Possibly the 10-22 canon too, but the field of view isn't as wide on it . A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................

I was looking at the 10-20 and the 12-24 but they're a bit big for skydiving. Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
