Circular fisheye on the bus (Panasonic GF1 & CS mount TV Lens 3.5mm f1.4)

Panasonic GF1
TV Lens 3.5mm f/1.4

This was shot from inside the bus. Apologies for the not so great video quality, the lens itself isn't bad but the bus window wasn't all that clear.

As for the lens, it is a CS mount CCTV lens which I modified to work on my GF1 when attached to a C mount adapter. The flange focal distance for CS mount lenses is much shorter than for C mount lenses so I had to make it so that the lens goes further inside the C mount adapter.

As you can see, the image circle doesn't cover the entire sensor. Some of the newer cameras from Panasonic have an extended tele conversion feature which, when enabled, would make the image circle bigger. I'll have to try it out when I upgrade.
