freefallcrab 0 #1 March 24, 2006 Anyone out there using the Zenitar fisheye lens? I really wanted a Sigma 15 mil but they are sooooooo expensive, even on e-bay. The Russian lens is MUCH cheaper. I guess you get what you pay for but it has been recommended by a friend and some second opinion would be useful. I am not a professional cameraman and just take stills (Canon EOS300D) for fun (might change if/when I start fiming tandems). Use your wings Johnny....

cj1150gs 0 #3 March 24, 2006 Hi, I like mine. Optically it's more than decent. And the price rocks!!! It doesn't have the auto-focus but if you set it for a little before infinity it will take sharp pictures from 1 m to infinity. Diaphragm is also manual so you will have to use it full manual (setting yourself the aperture and speed) or in Av setting aperture and letting the 300D decide speed. That's why I bought a Canon EF15 meanwhile - I think better results will show in Tv, setting speeds of 1/250 or faster and letting the camera chose the aperture. Haven't tried the EF15 to compare, yet. I've been busy trying to learn HD Carlos Martins Portugal www.cj.smugmug.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
