I just bought a Peleng 8mm on ebay ONLY because I got a REALLY good price. I was playing with it outside just now and noticed I have NO idea how I can possibly focus with this thing on my 20d. Anyone have any hints for me?


Here is the first shot I took with it. Just playing around, I had to sharpen it an awful lot in PS to make it look decent.

There's a lot of vignetting & CA in the tops of the trees, try shooting in RAW next time, I'm sure that'll help
But oh well, at least you got the lens at a good price :)

I dont think there is anything you can do about the vignetting with this lens! :)

It is a fish eye lens and you see the black hole when you shoot a frame. I just cropped it out and added normal vignetting.

Anyone have any tips for focusing this beast?
