Really interesting perspective and some creative shots.
I like the first porsche shot and the final shot of the race race.

I agree. The last 3 are great. Might need that lens around Motor Show time next year 8)

Hi Kevin,

When I see your fisheye photos I always want to get this lens! You are so creative with it! Well done!

very nice, I like the MG shot with your reflection the chrome

after seeing these I may have to pick up the 10.5/2.8FE when I get the D200 and may even get the 16/2.8FE for the F6 as well :D

I always have such a problem when I look at your pics since they are usually so damn good. I have a double problem when I look at your 10.5 pics since you make that lens sing. Fuels my lust :wink:

The last shot has presumably been straightened in NC and shows just how useful the lens can be for getting really wide shots.

I like these Photos.. they really do have a different perspective... makes me wish i had a fisheye :shock:

More lusting for me

I wanted to get up to the Hill Climb but i was stuffed, i had just spent a week up north at 1770 catching Coral Trout and other lovely reef fish that make you want to go Mmmmmmmmmmmmm also got to do a fair bit of snorkelling in Pancake Creek... coral reef fish everywhere

Thanks Kevin. I guess I'm just expecting to see lots of distortion in these shots and it's less noticable here. I guess being a bend the eye expects this distortion effect anyway. The crop really brings out the shot.
