thank you!

It really is a lot of fun. I can’t seem to help myself taking goofball typical fisheye shots with it, but hey, it’s a rental, that’s what it’s for! (:

Damn, I’m not sure how I missed this one but — WOW! Awesome.

Also: you have to let me know how you liked the fisheye in general, because that looks like fun. :)

dotsara

Yeah, how did you miss it?! sniff Hee, I kid! thank ya.

The lens is a damn lot of fun, but I liked it for this purpose, really. I got to extend the rental, but I haven’t picked it up in days. (shrug)
