Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1, Lumix 8mm f3.5 Fisheye Lens

This lovely shot of the Welsh countryside is well worth clicking through to see in larger size on flickr. I am very impressed with the fisheye lens's ability to cover such a wide area, with no apparent vignetting. The detail in this image literally goes on for miles. I am sorely tempted by this lens, but want to try the new fisheye attachment announced by Panasonic. It is far more economical, but I am sure not nearly so good in terms of image quality. But, that's speculation. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised!

That is an amazing image, Reed. The detail at the original 4000 x 300 is incredible.

Of course, I meant 4000 x 3000.
ReplyDeleteHi James - Yes, usually I think of fisheyes as specialty, almost "gimmick" lenses. But, this image proves they're more useful than that.
