Cant get much wider than this

Many thanks to MartinB for allowing me to look after his Peleng 8mm fisheye for a while, I think i`ll be adding one of these to my future shopping list.

Equipment: Tripod, Canon 350d, Peleng 8mm

Details: 1 x 15 seconds

Post Processing: Just some noise reduction

Boom! How big is that sky? Go any wider and you'll be taking a picture of the back of your head.

Seems a great match for an all-sky survey lens, 8mm on a x1.6 crop factor body.

Cheers

I love the Samyang badged version I have of this lens. The image distortion is very significant but I find it quite interesting on the right type of subject.

That's worked Steve. Hang onto the lens until you've had a chance to do a couple of Milky Way shots, it's a lot of fun this lens

That's one of the benefits of a full format camera!

I have the Samyang as well, what a cracking lens and the price is ridiculously cheap compared to Canon or Nikon (OK I know it is manual, but I can live with that as it is a lens you don't use that often)

[sologuitarist61]

What sort of exposure did you use Steve, and what ISO also?

[SteveL]

err.... 10-15 seconds, ISO400 or 800 I am guessing

OK, that's fine. Gives me a good starting point anyway, thanks.
