Who uses a Fisheye for landscapes? Post a few!

[Rob-F]

Every once in a while I wonder if I should get a 30mm fisheye for the Hasselblad. For when the 40mm doesn't seem wide enough. I would try it out in the mountains of Colorado--and maybe other places.

So if you shoot landscapes with a fisheye, whether 35mm or MF, let's see 'em!

Kingswood Gardens Hassy 30mm Distagon Fisheye 1 by Nokton48, on Flickr

Frog Pond, Kingswood Gardens, Mansfield Ohio. Kodak 70mm Surveillance Film, ADOX Borax MQ dev, Hasselblad 500C/M 30mm T* Distagon, Handheld exposure. Arista #2 8x10 Matte RC paper, Multigrade dev. Processed in 70mm Kindermann Dev Tank

Kodak Surveillance reminds me a lot of the older Tri-X emulsion.
The sun was just out of the frame upper left corner. The circular garden works well with the Hassy Fishy lens.

This was a fun shoot! More from this trip forthcoming.

Lovely work!

I love the scale and perspective of the fisheye lens ...not withstanding Spiratones and Holga add-ons.

Some oldies since I need to find my scans of my more recent fisheye images! All of these taken with my Zuiko 16mm f3.5 fisheye.

Every once in a while I wonder if I should get a 30mm fisheye for the Hasselblad. For when the 40mm doesn't seem wide enough.

I have a fisheye for my Nikon 35mm SLR and a fisheye for my Fuji mirrorless cameras.

Every once in a while, I consider getting a 37mm fisheye to use on my RB67 medium format film camera when my 50mm lens is not wide enough. However, the high cost for such a rarely used specialty lens restrains me.

Most of the work with a fisheye lens requires restraint to avoid its overused cliché. I really struggle to make use of its visualisation with the rectangular 35mm format.
