Yay! I bought something for my Rebel today! *pics* - 08-16-2007, 04:01 PM


So, I'm poor. Thats life, so it's ok. But given this financial disposition, the chances of me ever (or in the near future) being able to buy a legit wide angle or fisheye are slim. So, I got a super-wide adapter from David (the guy I got my 420ex Speedlite from). Yes, I know this is a lame way to get this effect, but I like it a lot, and it makes me happy, so poo-on-you! j/k...

Anyway... It's a Zykkor Super Wide .42x w/ Macro. Here is the first shot w/ it. Yes, it's at my desk at work. I was in a hurry to get back at lunch, so no time yet for good pics. :) This is with it on the kit lens, and the 420ex is bouncing off the white celing...

Results look pretty good to me in the center. I think the outside is supposed to be soft but overall I like it.

Looks like you're in tech support or other phone related type work? I hope your boss is ok with you bringin' in your big dslr to work heh. Security would be on me if i brought in anything more then a camera phone.

Thanks guys...
Yea, they are cool at work. I test all the lenses I go through/trade for on them. I've always got the camera out and playing w/ it at my desk. My sup and manger also brought me in to start this car oriented aftermarket parts and sharing site, and I will be the one taking all the pics...
