HK - the land of super air conditioning units. And also sweltering heat and humidity.
Take ones lens outside without acclimation and it is instant fog. Seems to warm up from the centre bulge of a fisheye lens out - the glass that is. So get while the going is good and shoot!!!

This is a fisheye view of part of the group at table. Note that my face at top left of the image is still fairly natural in shape despite being right at the edge of a very wide angle view. The straight lines of the table planks are preserved in the fisheye persective because they're radial.

As I no longer have access to a fisheye lens this picture was taken with the wide angle lens on my iPhone. The subject is The Bud which is part of a RSC project at Stratford upon Avon. I like the juxtaposition of the branches of the tree behind the installation.
The best I could get of a young gator with my fisheye lens. Was holding it out in front just above the water and trying to manually focus while looking at the rear LCD. Taken at Brazos Bend State Park, Texas, USA.
This marks my first attempt with a fisheye lens. not my fisheye. a fisheye from a shop. but nontheless, it gave to me an impressive notion for the similiar lens.
some pictures of the pro-optic 8mm fisheye lens. this one's a canon mount and branded pro-optic, but it is available for nikon and pentax mounts, and possibly others. I believe this same lens is also marketed under other brands, such as bower, samyang, vivitar, and others.
I got mine at adorama, and I have only great things to say about them.
it was $289, which is crazy cheap, if you ask me. the only thing it lacks is aperture control and autofocus. the autofocus is really unimportant due to the nature of the lens though. there's basically 'near' and 'far' the hyperfocal is so big that it doesn't matter.
ken rockwell has a good writeup of this lens on his site: kenrockwell.com. I bought it because of that review, and I have to say I agree with everything he says.
