Tom,
I remember the first photograph that I saw taken with a fisheye lens.
It was in National Geographic, and was taken from the floor of a state
routunda, pointed straight up at the ceiling.
Shot was taken with a 6 mm N*kk*or. As I recall, the mirror had to be
locked up, in order to mount the lens. The author indicated that N*k*n
had estimated the world-wide need for fisheyes to be only a few units.
As I recall, the original purpose of the lens was to inspect the
interior of pipes, (such as sewer pipes).
Anybody else remember this?
