You need a fisheye lens to capture it!

if you go to the original (LARGE) you can see the AF indicators on the viewfiner through the lens!

I have to admit THAT lens is an awesome toy. Bolted on a gimble to my balcony rail it would be a real weapon. :wink:

Definitely good fun to play with!

Though I felt a little queasy when I got home and looked up just how much the 200-400 costs!!!!

Good thing it wasn't sitting on a tripod when it got a bit gusty, I'd be rather uneasy to say the least!

I love that 10.5mm fisheye (whose lens was it, btw?). It must give, what, a 160' angle or something?

The fisheye belonged to Kevin (Mitedo).

Well, kudos to kevin for having such an interesting lens on the day

I didn't even realise I wanted one before I had a look!

Wow, I think I just used up my work's entire bandwidth for the day downloading the 100% of that photo

I'm beginning to realise that.

I was ready to be blissful in my ignorance and be happy with the kit lens for a while before gaining experience and branching out into lens buying frenzies...

Hey, is it just me, or have there been more photos OF the 200-400 than photos USING it?

We've all been there

Hit the nail on the head, it looks very impressive and it always the subject of a few photos.. more on this occasion

Safest bet is to buy Canon. Then you can't be tempted ... :wink:
