I haz new toys



Zenkos tripod
Zenkos "large" carrying bag; it's by no means large, but it fits all my stuff so I'm happy for now
Bower .42x58mm fisheye lens
Digital Concepts 2x telephoto lens
Digital Concepts 0.45x wide-angle lens
Digital Concepts UV, FLD, and CPL filters

Not the best stuff in the world, but they do take some very nice pics. And I luffs the fisheye lens

 

Cool **** man! I'm interested to see how the wide angle works out, post some shots taken with that if you get a chance.

 

I haven't played with the wide-angle lens much since I favor the fisheye... here's a few pics with the fisheye:










When I get some pics with the wide-angle, I'll post 'em up. I'd still like to get a "true" fisheye lens (as opposed to the attachment I have for my 18-55mm lens), but I don't see me buying a $600 Nikkor fisheye anytime soon... maybe next year

 

how does the attachment fisheye lens work? i am interested in them

 

:| Not a fisheye fan

 

you dont even like my fish eye? =[

 

wide angle > fisheye IMO

 

It's threaded; you need an adapter ring that threads on to the (in my case 18-55mm lens). If you look closely, the inside of the end of the lens is actually threaded. It makes things easy but it can be a PITA to keep it from cross-threading.
