A shot from this morning with the Peleng 8mm fisheye. Cropped but still visibly distorted.
I use PS CS. Anybody got any tips for "unfishing" using the distort or perspective commands? Or even the "spherize" filter?? |

Anyone who enjoys messing about with fisheyes ought to take a look at Richard Rosenmann's Lens Corrector Pro: this $19.95 photoshop plugin is absolutely stunning. It will allow you to remove distortion where you don't want it (like in the original shot on this thread) and, perhaps more importantly, control/manipulate or even exaggerate the distortion in shots where you LIKE it but it's not quite right.

And if you already have PanoTools, then the (free) PTLens plug-in is a fantastic tool. This is what I use for "partial defish" on some fisheye shots. I rarely do a full defish, as the stretching is severe enough that the corners get quite soft. The corner softness is especially disconcerting, since the stretching takes place primarily in one direction, resulting in something like a radial motion blur. Ick.

Nice photo John.
You can also use panotools (plug in for PS) to create the fisheye effect, like in this photo:
I have the Zenitar 16mm FE, but find I don't get enough "fish", so I'm about to order the Peleng 8mm. I read somewhere that the mirror on some cameras can hit the lens when attached. Anybody know if it's an issue with the 20D?

It's not.
Only with some of the Nikon film cameras.

Ah...fruitloops...all the energy a kid could need in one bowl. My mom didn't like me eating that cereal very often because she thought it made me hyper. Then she realized that it was a placebo effect--that I was hyper because I was happy to have the cereal. Also, I was naturally a bit wild at times...
Imagine how I'd act if I got a new fisheye lens rather than fruit loops!
