mark_pw Posted January 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've recently got a Fisheye 16mm f2.8. The 180-degree view is interesting to me. I must say I don't have good sense of using this great lens. The one below is a better one that I have to courage to share here. Please share your fisheye photos here and guide me how to make good use of the great lens. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Hi mark_pw, Take a look here Fisheye-Elmarit-R 16mm f2.8 Photos (Post them here). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Hugh 38 Posted February 4, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2017 I got out some slides last night and scanned them . I did not fiddle about with the scanner , just pressed the button . These are some of the first pictures I took with the 16mm in December 2007 , using Kodachrome 64 and an SL2 . The aft terrace of Oriana is a lovely spot and can be interesting to play with the shapes. Two pictures to start . I will do some more later : Welcome, dear visitor!

Hugh 38 Posted February 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 7, 2017 The lens can be good for interiors . It can 'bend' in the edges of a room . Here it is in a cabin . Welcome, dear visitor!

Hugh 38 Posted February 7, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 7, 2017 A bit more extreme I tried the lens in bathroom on the ship which is a small room .

jankap Posted March 13, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 13, 2017 Did you already try to defish a picture? In Luminous Landscape the software ImageAlign was reviewed (long ago). Also in Photoshop there is a possibility. I often use the filter Adaptive WA for my linear pictures. There is a fisheye covering too.

Hugh 38 Posted March 24, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 24, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have not manipulated my pictures at all . I put them in the scanner , pressed the scan button , saved the pictures , then reduced them and posted them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted March 27, 2017 Share #8 Posted March 27, 2017 I know, I should not manipulate the pictures of others. But is this a more "comfortable" version? I only linearized the horizon. The wide angle look is there still. Jan Welcome, dear visitor!

Please share your fisheye photos here and guide me how to make good use of the great lens. d A different approach to using a fisheye lens … which can be emulated using a manual focus fisheye if lens is stopped down and prefocused dunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 38 Posted May 14, 2017 Share #13 Posted May 14, 2017 Leica SL Type 601 + Fisheye-Elmarit-R 1:2.8/16 ...................... Wonderful picture . I am pleased to see the fish eye works on the new SL . Which adapters did you use ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoebahydra Posted May 16, 2017 Share #14 Posted May 16, 2017 Wonderful picture . I am pleased to see the fish eye works on the new SL . Which adapters did you use ? Used to use Leica M-Adapter T and R-adapter-M in cascade, but shown vagnette when using large aperture lenses; finally settled on Novoflex LET/LER. I do not bother to buy the Leica R-adapter T as I only have less than 5 ROM lenses, not worth the while for the addition money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted September 19, 2017 Share #15 Posted September 19, 2017 Please google for "Zugspitze 360" to see a beautiful demonstration of a fish eye lens project. They used an Acratech panoramic head. Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
