Thanks 6x6 - I'm definitely going to try printing the symmetrical one.
And, I hope you all are still in the mood for some circular images :). I went on a short trip to Mississippi this past week. Here's something I just hung up to dry, and grabbed a quick pic with my cell phone:
Davis Bayou, Gulf Islands National Seashore - Speed Graphic / 35mm fisheye / T-Max 100 / Pyrocat

A little world unto itself!
...thats it! A little world - more like the illusion that everything is trapped inside a glass sphere...the way things seem to be trying to push outwards yet having to yield because there is no escape! Would also be interesting to play with this "trapped" concept by/while incorporating human subjects.
I really like round images
We watched r0und TV for 5 decades
I have a Chinese 7.5 mm fish on crop DIGI
Maybe I should fit to 35mm film as all the kids are 35mm

With two step up rings, I can use any of my 55 or 77mm filters (my standards) -- even polarizers. (I still need to make some IR shots someday, though. :o)Quote:

Thanks y'all - I like the "little world" idea. Though it reminds me of the "little planet" images that were a big fad maybe ten years ago in the digital world, done by making a ton of images and stitched in photoshop into a sphere
xkaes, the Pentax has the usual fisheye filter set built-in, but not the rear filter thread. That's interesting, though perhaps not of much use other than the IR filter idea you mentioned (I tend to use R25 myself). I'm not sure what you mean by "full-frame 180 degree fisheye" in context of the 37mm vs my 35mm Pentax - that's exactly what I have here on 4x5 film (scanned and cropped square, of course). Perhaps you thought I meant a 35mm-film-sized fisheye but I mean the one for Pentax 67, 35mm focal length. As usual your website doesn't work - DNS errors on your end.
Like!

The R25 is the next best thing, but on my lenses that I can't use an IR filter, I combine an R25 with a X11 (green). Together they get rid of most of the visible light. http://www.subclub.org/gallery/laundry.htmQuote:

I was just pointing out that the 4x5" circular image with these lenses can be cropped to its original, rectangular 6x7 format -- it's still a 180° fisheye image, just FULL-FRAME, not CIRCULAR. Which to use? Depends on the subject and the photographer.
Happy shooting.
If one gets a 47-75 wide angle for 4x5 will it give a full image circle on 5x7 or 8x10 film?Quote:
