Pro analysis. :thumbsup:

It's good to know the lens characteristics and use it in the right situation.

Hee Hee..
Actually I had a short discussion with Clem_C last week on the 35mm and kit lens.. and both of us have the same conclusion.. a good lens should not only be sharp.. it must be able to isolate the object from the background.. (sort of 3D effect.. - OOF) Photo 1 & 2 able to do that.. but not photo 3.
That is where I think prime lens can perform better..

For kit lens.. there is lack of 3D effect, no OOF - object is not isolated from background..
I only have problem btw 35 and 50.. and because of the perspective, I think the 1st one is 50mm.
 

Hiee..

Too much OOF due to shallow DOF may not be good for composition. ;)
 

A good photographer is always a thinking photographer.

Ask any pros for advice and they will tell you to compose the picture in your mind first then take the photo accordingly. We laymen usually take the shots and then see how it turns out…:sweat:

Knowing your lens is crucial for composing. And there are many things to lookout for apart from sharpness. There are the perspective at certain length, the color and contrast rendering, the color cast, the maximum aperture that gives you both the low light and DOF abilities and not forgetting the bokeh etc..

There are many combinations that suite different people. Some people must have maximum sharpness, anything from their feet to infinity. While others swear that their lens is too sharp for portrait…what say you?:dunno:

Haha, I think I’m babbling too much already. It’s a sign that age is catching up….
 

Problem is, sometime got idea and can imagine how it should turn out, but couldn't get what I wanted. :cry:

Well said!! Digital shooter nowadays tend to shoot too many (that's me too...:cry:) But it is important to remember a while back when we shoot film. Only shoot when it matters and be confident about your shots.

The sequence should be.. "pre-visualisation" then "thinking technically" then "Compose artistically" and execute at the "right" timing.

It is difficult to do than said, but good to practice it that way... :thumbsup:

I'd like to share some photos that I took at Fort Canning Park that day taken with a Cosina 70-210 f2.8 Macro, push-pull design, that was lent to me by Galdor. Pics are unedited, except for cubic scaling using GIMP. Nice lens.

Doesn't work for me....fisheye from this perspective.

What makes you choose the Sigma 15mm fisheye over the Peleng 8mm fisheye ?

More photos from Sigma 15mm Fisheye.. with adjusted high contrast.
You can view the rest in this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyesthruthelens/sets/72157594473317677/detail/

Thanks for the feedback..
Actually I'm looking at minolta 16mm fisheye until I saw someone selling this sigma lens for A-mount.
Why this lens as compare to Peleng..
I think it's on the sharpness and I think 8mm is overkill :sweat:
Anyway, this sigma lens is suppose to be 180 degree on a FF.. Maybe I can loan a flim camera from KM friends to try out.. :D

very vibrant and contrasty..i like it.
u buy alot of lens recently:think:

Thanks :)
I happened to see some good lens with good pricing.. so decided to purchase them.
I'm selling some of my lens as well.
 

15mm on crop factor is a bit not here not there.... slightly curved, but don't have that super wide effect. the colours are nice though.
 

OOT.... in the wide angle 2mm is a lot especially if you taking distance image.

Review of the 8mm Peleng and in there is a wide comparison between the Sigma 10-20 and Peleng 8mm. Again it's only 2mm but do show how much more it can capture.

I think the 15mm fisheye lens is wider than a normal wide lens due to the curve on the fisheye..
I can get a good fisheye curve if I tilt the lens slightly..

few more shots with more curves... ;)

A comparison btw. 17mm wide lens and 15mm fisheye lens
