TTArtisan 7.5/2

I've owned this little lens (for Fuji) since the summer. It is a fisheye but produces rectangular images on APS-C. The images it produces are what we in the UK would describe as "Marmite" which means people either like them or hate them

I've found that in the right circumstances it can produce really unique pictures - and some of the time it really isn't the right lens (I am thinking of a picture I took of a local churchyard where the distortion made it look like the ground had opened up and all the gravestones were falling into the hole).

I ended up at Sheffield Cathedral (in Yorkshire) and got a few interesting pictures where the wide angle and distortion helps give a feel for the space - this is one of them:

I like it. I love fisheyes in general in fact.

I am not sure I could shoot with one but fisheyes do produce some interesting images. I am not sure that is what I would call rectangular, though.

I think the graveyard shot mentioned could open some creative possibilities, especially around Halloween.

I think it’s a cool shot, but what in the world is that crazy looking dude framed inside of the circle? Looks out of place in a church.
