That first image will be but one of many fun shots with this lens. You now need to practice keeping your own feet out of the viewfinder. Good luck and keep posting the results. Paul Yeah, I was surprised too. Two days was definitely unexpected. I bought it from Kiev Camera which is only about 300 miles away in the next state. Website: www.kaplanmultimedia.com

Maureen Souza wrote: Looks like the fun already got started. That is a really cool effect, Joel.... I love it and I am glad to see you in it. Thanks Maureen. I usually look better when I'm not totally distorted like some nutty cartoon figure. But on the other hand, I think my distorted face actually helps show my excitement over getting a new toy to play with. Website: www.kaplanmultimedia.com

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. I've heard the Zenitar is actually a better lens than the Peleng. I just wanted something ridiculously wide and inexpensive to have fun with. Website: www.kaplanmultimedia.com
