I've been using a friend's Pentax 17mm Fish Eye for the past week or so. It's a damn good performer, and I find it a near perfect match for the L1 body (fitted with an adapter of course). Funny, I like it even more than the rectilinear Nikon 20mm lens I was using on the L1 before this... !
Did a few comparison photos to check out the field of view in comparison to rectilinear lenses. The Panny L1 is on the left, showing the 14-50mm @ 14mm setting and the 17 FE, then the Pentax K10D is on the right showing the DA14, K17FE, and DA21. http://homepage.mac.com/godders/K17FE-FOV/ You can see how much more "bendy" the rendering seems on the Pentax body, with its wider format proportion and slightly larger sensor. enjoy Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
