Has anybody tried this combination ? If so any samples ? I am interested in it as a relatively cheap superwide only if the fisheye distortion is almost gone ( because of the 1.6 maginfication ).

thanks leonid

Answers

You can tell what it will look like by cropping the image from a normal 35mm fisheye to the same extent (crop a 4x6 print to 2.5x3.75). Fisheye distortion will still be present of course and depending on your definitition of "almost gone" it may or may not be what can live with.

Note that if you make sure all straight lines run through the center of the image, sometimes fisheye shots can look almost "normal"

I use a nikon 16mm on a Fuji S1 and could e-mail you some shots from that if you wanted. I would post them here, but I don't have any up on the web.
