I've considered picking up the inexpensive Peleng 8mm fish-eye for several months. The other day I saw some excellent pictures posted using this lens. That was it... I couldn't wait any longer.
I'm sure gonna have some fun with this lens.

My first 'Russian' finally arrived today and damn it's a sharpy. Came in a funny 1950's style cardboard box stuffed with Russian newspaper and contained in what can only be described as a plastic jam jar. Much funnier packing than any L lens I've owned. Tomorrow, we test. Maybe I'll get one of these fella's too, tho' I think I fancy the Zenitar-M 2.8/16 more. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the lense and how much did it run? Ever since that post back a week or so ago, I have been kinda itchy on the idea too... ~ Joe Ledvina / Ledvina Photography ~
