Beautiful and great prespective.

Hamid,

Klaus is a very talented photographer and a source of somevof the finest lenses to adapt to a pixel rich camera, especially with image stabilization likeca Sony A7RII or III.

This fisheye view is the kind of novel window we can provide that allows poeople to see common scenes in a very memorable way. After all, in classic work, we darken thecedges and corners. Here we simply remove them from view altogethercandcit really makes more sense.

Have you tried this in a wedding. It’s a beautiful way of cherishing the bride and groom in a wide photogenic background. The key challenge is the distance to the couple. One has to resist the need to have them occupy the usual 60% or more of the frame.

Using this lens for me, means an opportunity to sell them a very large exotic round wall
print with detailed landscspe and a sufficient size of the couple in the extra large print.

If the couple is too close, the serenity of the bg can be lost and distortion in facial features start to ruin the picture!
