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!

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

  2. Of course, I meant 4000 x 3000.

  3. Hi James - Yes, usually I think of fisheyes as specialty, almost "gimmick" lenses. But, this image proves they're more useful than that.
