Anyone use the .38 fisheye from PIER LTD

I was looking at this lense, and I am curious if anyone here has any experience with this lense. How much distortion does this lense give?

I don't have that lens, but I have enjoyed doing business with Pier. Marcus was very helpful when I was setting up my camera helmet.

That said, I heartily recommend the Diamond .3. It's the lens I fly for inside video. It is incredibly sharp and truly, amazingly low profile. It looks like a freakin filter!

So if you want to go that wide, I do recommend the .3.

Lets say you the 4th man in a 4 way...

If you look straight across the formation at your mirror, how much of the other 2 jumpers will you get with the Diamond .3??

Ive been thinking about this one for inside stuff just to play with, but dunno about spending the bucks. I figured I could get it and sell it to a freeflyer if I didnt like it.

Thx

Ah, Rifleman, you will get the THREE other flyers in a 4 way! I did a great sunset 6 way tonight and I've got all five other flyers in it when we turned the two three way closed accordions. I was in the center of one of the accordions looked a little left, Big Tom, a little right there's John, as we close I got Mad John, Carol, and Alan.

It is the absolute bomb diggity shit for inside work. Absolute. You could probably use it for tandems if you could stay right on top of the pair the entire time, but I use a .5 for that. Between my .5 and the .3 I get good stuff almost every time.

If you're in doubt, buy it.
