Bower 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye

I added another lens to my arsenal recently. For many a moon I have longed for a fisheye lens. However, for a lens of limited use, the prices are often astronomical. However, after doing much research I did find a few that were priced reasonably. Not one this guy’s bank account would call cheap, but certainly affordable. Don’t worry, Naima and Foster won’t be missing any meals.

This is the first picture I ever took with this sweet baby:


Here are the technical specs on the new toy:

Minimum Focus Distance: 12″

I have to admit, I’ve already fallen in love with the little guy. If you are wondering, the next planned equipment upgrade will probably be studio lighting. However, this might be a little bit. I have to finish painting the studio.

Speaking of which, who wants to help paint the studio?
