I picked up a Pentax 6X7 35mm 1:4.5 fisheye lens the other week. I've only had one chance to use it (though I'm hoping to take it out again very soon.) The lens has a corner-to-corner angle of view of 180 degrees and, as such, warps the heck out of the image plane. This has a lot of creative image possibilities, and I tried it out with portraits.
These are scanned from a contact sheet, not the negatives, so they have slightly higher contrast and slightly lower resolution.
Here I tried to get the smoke coming out of Ashish's nose, but it didn't really show up well.
Just a sample sot of a wall to show the full image circle.Taken from arm's length.
