That's just wrong. I would hate to see what I looked like through that lens!

Fisheye can be cool when used properly. Which lens are you using?

She absolutely loves it beyond belief Bill. This is her second one, first one was gas operated. I couldn't change her mind if I tried.

That's a pretty nice one. I have a Russian made 15mm Zenitar fisheye with a Canon adapter hub. It's 100% manual and not that great, but does the job when I want to fish things up.

Wouldn't work on a NASCAR track! Looks like it would not be good turning left!

Not my cup of tea. I'm surprised no one has asked for you to post a picture of the wife.

Pretty hard to build a cool looking car that's only 3ft long.
I think they have thier place and for alot of peoples lives they are absolutely perfect.
As long as there's a Vette in the driveway somewhere it's all cool! lol

Be honest Bill, your car got rained on and shrunk. Now you know why Vette owners don't want to get their cars out when it is raining.
