One for Lloydy, an example from this Zenitar on a 5D2, taken today when I went for a drive over to west coast.
I use this on full frame and the Samyang 8/3.5 on crop sensor, I love both of these lenses. (plus fisheyes don't come much cheaper)

Thanks.
If the horizon is kept dead centre the fisheye effect is minimal. _________________ Gary

My work is done here.
I think you'll be happy with this lens, it's much better than I expected. _________________ Gary

I can lend you my Tokina 3.5/17 for as long as you need to evaluate, I'm skeptical a fisheye will be as effective for landscape use, whereas the Tokina really excels for such work. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Cool shot, I used that technique toom to eliminate distortion.
I use my Takumar 17/4 fisheye for panorama mode on NEX, no fisheye effect .
oh I had zenitar 3 times, I prefer Takumar over it _________________ nex5, Olympus EPM1, yashica half 14, Canon eos 650 want to see samples of mine? please click My lenses

This is very nice. I always imagined a landscape exactly like this in my mind when I read Bernard Cornwell.
BTW I have been on the fence for a long time for the Zenitar. I am wondering if there are any differences in quality between the new one from current production line compare to the one from say 20 years ago? |

I like the zenitar as well, esp on FF.
The zenitar also far easier to get than the takumar.
I won't say no if i can spot one in reasonable price range |

Thanks for all your replies folks.
I don't know if there's a difference between this lens and any older versions, I bought mine new last year.
I used no software to de-fish this shot, this is how it looks straight from the camera (though I did edit it in other ways). _________________ Gary
