This weekend, I went to a vendor expo at a camera shop by me. This is where I learned about the Lensbaby Composer and Fisheye optic. I was in the market for a Fisheye lens but seeing as how I would only use it every once in a while, the Composer + Fisheye Optic made perfect sense..... for much less then an actual lens. I can't wait to go out there and really play with these..... as soon as the store calls me to pick up my order.

@takeme2urmac cool - i am sure you wil love it.

I'm a bit confused. That first lens with the streaming effect, was that a part of the fish eye? Or a while different lens? And can you recommend me any good/decent fisheye for under 200?

[thatnikonguy]

@BokChoiTV yes the streaming comes from the extreme wide angle effect.

This is not a bad option considering price

BTW what "screen" are you using to see what's in the frame while recording? :) thx

[thatnikonguy]

@TheKarolans the screen on d5100, rotated so I can see it

[freeelfbaby]

[nassalspray77]

is that a wedding ring i spot on your left hand?

[the007harry]

Great video as usual. Have you heard of the Lytro light field camera? What's your thoughts on it? Will it change photography?

@mrRapkis each piece comes separately - check your local price as it is sure to vary.
