how much is that foreal

[paintbrush0300]

thanks a lot, that helped me in knowing ant fisheye option:D

[BuffoonCinema]

"If you are fairly sober this is the best lens for taking out...." Funny, Dom.

[tincset]

Thanks for this video!

I just got the same lens but I'm a bit disappointed as the results are not sharp at all. Im using the infinite focal lenght, a quite high shutter speed and doing my best to keep the camera still.

How about yours? How do you manage?

Cheers!!!

[dombower]

@tincset autofocus for me works just fine. nice and sharp and great for landscapes.

[isctony]

@tincset use aperture priority to whack it wide open?

[104mikeyboy]

i hate when people say nikon like that

[slapNtickle88]

love your HDR shots they look amazing. Now i want one of these lenses

[heuykiller]

I wanna party with you!

[pabsoul]

Thanks dude! Great pics!

[hahahadropped2000]

as good as a screw on

[Bradhunter33]

Thanks for the tips. What did you pay for this bad boy? I'm interested in picking something like this up...

[HokieFanatic1]

@Bradhunter33 its like £440.

[SamBrannan92]

Hey Dom, I really like your fish eye shots! Do you know any website where I could probably get the best deal on one like that? Is it compatible with the d3000?

[1308JJ]

Hi,

For the party shots, have you used the internal flash or an external?

Because I'm some kind of interested in such a lens an i also want to take it to some partys and so on, but I don't really want to have a huge external flash attachted...

[owendart]

Yes I did mean slower fps thanks for pointing it out

[owendart]

fuji s5pro is basically a d200/300 but it has a better dynamic range but slower shutter

[dombower]

@owendart slower shutter? do you not mean slower FPS

[roberthemsley2]

whaow whaow ... nikon lenses works with a fuji dslr?

[stjohnproduction]

how much was your fisheye

[qazahmed]

lol...Ants eye view :D

[FIXOVISION]

Thanks Dombower for the video. Could you please tell me the difference in the images between the 12-24 f/4 nikon taken at 12 and this fisheye. (assuming that pictures are taken with both lenses at aperture 4)

[dombower]

the fish eye would have a fishe eye effect the 12-24 does not.

[andycal6781]

highlight of the video. GLENTRESS. nice drop. good stuff. just a pity it doens'nt show how much the drop actually falls away.

[georgedoesballet]

Oh ok ok thank you. Just undecided on the lens! thanks

[georgedoesballet]

I noticed abit of vignetting in these images? What do you think?

[dombower]

nope i dont notice any. if there is i may have put that in myself in post

[GrandeEne]

It's compatible with Nikon D5000?

[dombower]

not sure. it has no internal motor if the d5000 has not motor then you will have to manual focus it.

[GrandeEne]

Ok, thanks! (:

[MrD0BR0]

hey dom! excellent video, as usual, very informative and excellent pictures, especially the HDR ones!

[joshbourke89]

Just subscribed! All videos are fecking fantastic, very informative, especially the one about the sigma 105mm macro, so thanks for that.

Its worms eye by the way

[dombower]

worms, ants, turds. all the same. small and on the ground. but i will use worm from now on, thanks for the tip

[HeavenOfTrance]

the cabman is Jamie oliver's father =D^^

[dombower]

no way omg!!!

[skatermixer]

hey i got a fisheye lens adapter is it the same that an actual lens?

[dombower]

close to it. cant imagin the resolution being all that great. but should get a good enough effect

[waostler]

HA HA HA HA HA!!! >:D Got my first fishe eye lens....:( Sadly...it's a door peephole.... Actually works!:)

[someguy6481]

best video yet

[someguy6481]

and learnt alot of new ideas in the realm of photography.

[dombower]

glad to hear that! feel free to show some of your photos and ill link them up.

[someguy6481]

thanks Dom, but I sadly don't own a copy of a Nikon 10.5 fish eye as of yet and as I only recently joined Nikon (being a former Canon user) and currently own a Nikon D40 and only using the kit lens for now. Besides the Nikon 10.5 wouldn't work properly on a D40 due to the lack of a built in motor, but the Nikon 10.5 fish eye is something I'll most certainly consider in the future.

[waostler]

I love this lens...I want one:(

Great job Dom!

[ori3ntal]

true, but a proper fish eye is a very special and unique type of lens. with the adapter you could test out the style for a small cost. I wouldn't spend £400+ on a lens that I'm not experienced in. its the same with macro lenses, and macro extension tubes. Cheap compromise but a good way to experiment without committing to a full price tag.

[ori3ntal]

you seem to be using your fuji a lot recently, or at least in the videos! what's your view on wideangle/fisheye adapters. cheap compromise?

[ubergeek9]

The glass isn't going to be near as good on those - the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye is very sharp. Also most of those won't give you a full 180 degree view like a true fisheye will.
