Well I pulled the trigger on a "fisheye" lens yesterday (mail order). It should arrive Friday, in time for the "View through my window" shoot on Saturday. It's a 10.5 mm DSLR lens with a 180 degree view area. Reviewers say to watch out for your feet.

Fisheye and Ultra-wide-angle are two completely different things. With the fisheye you *want* a distorted image, with the UWA you want an extreme wide angle with as little distortion as possible. My experience with fisheyes is that they make me sick....really. My stomach turns when I see the bend lines and strange perspectives.
I'm using the Pentax 12-24 and it's distortion is minimal. I *LOVE* it!
Well hang on to your stomach Marcel. To emphasize the dangle of the angle, I also ordered this to go with the wide angle lens: [img]http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/images345x345/430420.jpg[/img] It kind of makes me sick just thinking about it. [:-sour]
