Is it?
My English nickname "Carl" was used by my English friends who could not pronounce "Carsten" correctly.
Carsten is not really a form of Carl. Carsten is a northern form of "Christian". _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Is it difficult? How is it pronounced then?
I always imagined Carl or Karl is the German form of Charles. |

I've never used a Zenitar so I'm not voting on this lens.
Can someone answer a question for me - is a Fisheye a special type of lens, or can any lens <20mm be called a Fisheye? I'd like to get an ultra- wide lens for the 400D but I don't really want the distortion of Fisheye lenses. I guess the Zenitar or Peleng are not what I need. Any other suggestions? |

I will try a short answer: a fish-eye is a super wide angle lens that has not been corrected for distortion. _________________ Orio, Administrator

It's a special kind of lens. Instead of avoiding the distortion with a rectilinear lens design they use a special kind of mapping. Perhaps this article helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens

Well, it seemed to be difficult for some of my English friends (They said something like "Carlston", others did not have any problems.
I usually tried to explain how to pronounce it:
"Cars" plus "ten" (automobiles and the number). This is pretty much the way it is pronounced - not too difficult, is it?
Yes, "Karl", "Charles", "Carlos", "Karel" - these are all different forms of one name (German, English, Spanish, Czech). _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
