Messing with Derf's original, via Nik's HDR Efex Pro and Topaz Simplify. Forgive me, dude. Love these shots!

OH HELL NO!!! I do not forgive you! To make it up to me you now need to start another thread and show with workflow how you did this and use any of my other images to do the same effect.... YOUR A BAD PERSON! ;)

(Seriously crazy edit, I love it! Genius!)
Well, since it upsets you so much, I figured I'd hit it too... :)
I am not sure of the f-stop but it may have been stopped down by 1 or 2 stops max has i needed a higher shutter speed as I was holding the monopod way over my head. Manual lens does not give me the ability to look back at exif info for the info. Sorry
I currently have a canon 10-22.
How much difference would this lens make?
The difference is HUGE. Your lens, at 10mm, covers about 105 degrees of angular view. The Opteka's a true fisheye, it covers 180 degrees.
The optical quality will not be the equal of more expensive fisheyes (Canon makes an L-series, 8-15mm f/4L fisheye that can be used on either crop frame of full frame sensors, that one costs $1400) but it is decent, and great for the price.
I still cannot get over what Fred's been able to do with this thing. I've gone to the Opteka site to see where this might be available in Europe and Fred's photos blow away what they've got posted on their own product marketing pages. They should put him on the payroll.
As you can see the 18MM does not do what I need for aviation photography. I did not think I was going to use
this lens 1/10 the amount that I am currently using it. I figured it would be a cockpit only and when I wanted
really weird effects. It now is primary for close up aviation and I could not even think about going with
one of those expensive 10-20mm lens's as it will not do what this cheap lens does. ****FLOORED with this lens!!!****
Can someone please clarify how you use this on a canon body seeing the lens is both manual focus and manual aperture
both chosen on the lens)
How do you set the camera body then for aperture seeing the lens is not talking to the body?
With the lens attached do I just dial in the matching aperture on the body?
Will my body allow me to do that?
If I have 5.6 on the lens and then dial that into the body will the camera read the lighting conditions for exposure?
Also, how sharp can I expect this lens to be wide open?
