Well, I've had it done, joined the club, got the t shirt...........and still don't know!
One of life's greatest mysteries!

Cheers bud!
 
Does anyone have any comparisons of the 9-18. Panasonic 7-14 and 14-45 to see how wide they are?

Ideally i'd like the 8-16 but if the 9 is wide enough i'd rather save cash and get that.

Thanks

My youngest Granddaughter Scarlett visited yesterday,it's always a joy to see her so I had to take some candid snaps, at two years old they do not pose.

Ahhh! sausage rolls!
Had some from a butchers shop in Pateley Bridge a couple of weeks ago made with Nidderdale sausage meat and apple, probably the best sausage rolls in the world!

Fabulous! Bet Grandad thinks the world of her!
 
Is that your back garden? ;)

You know, considering the price of the 9mm bodycap lens, it gives surprisingly good results.
I have had some negative remarks about the distortion it gives, but I don't mind it at all!

Well, it was on Flickr, when I explained that it was supposed to be like that, most 'got it' but not all.
As said before in the postings, it suits some subjects better than others.

I have had the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye (awesome lens), the Canon 15mm on FF(disappointing compared to Nikon), Samyang 8mm(didnt get on with it at all) and the Oly 9mm so quite a varying difference in cost and looking at pics produced from all 4 I cannot say I notice that much of a difference because at the end of the day its a fisheye..

yes the Oly is f8 which can be a pain when the sun goes down, yes it has just 3 levels of manual fixed focus, but its £70-90 odd quid and its bodycap sized with no weight to it.. its the most enjoyment I have had with a fisheye..
