Is that the fisheye lens?

I did the stupidest thing on the weekend.

Was going to learn how to use my camera and my bf had been going through the documents and put the 'manual' on my desk, so i was reading this trying to learn how i change the FOV and shutterspeed or whatever and it was REALLY unhelpful, so an hour later i gave up, and it turns out it was the camera tips booklet and the manual was elsewhere :(

so i STILL dont know how to use my camera.

I heard those different lenses arent that expensive though? like colour filters etc.

ahaha u said most lenses arent expensive then went on to say like colour filters?... filters are different to lenses. a filter is what you put on top of a lens to get a certain effect... use photoshop though its more adjustable

There are some things photoshop can't do as well as certain filters. :D

Yeah i realise i was talking about lenses then talked about filters. I know theres a difference, it was just a tired moment.

and i cant remember what camera i have, its a canon, but i work on a mine, live at the mine and the cameras at home.

Do ya know how it compares to the canon 15mm 2.8 Fisheye? Maybe we should do some comparisons on full frame bodies. :)

Yeah, Tripod bench testing sounds like a good idea. :)

IM jealous ian!! I want that camera and lens..

Sometimes i find i need two nd8 filters on a bright day...

Plenty of 2nd hand 5D's floating around Sidd! Get off your arse and start trawling FleaBay! :)

On a full day of sun i'd use 3 ND8's to be sure. :)
