Earlier, you saw me shoot this house concert that we've set up here with a bunch of different lenses. I was primarily working with my ultra-wide- angle lens, and I shot the first half of the show, George Bilgere a poet, and Larry Gallagher, a singer-songwriter. And I was focusing mostly on using my ultra-wide. At intermission I kind of stopped and reassessed what I was doing and realized I was really looking forward to using the fisheye. And I've done that now, and it's been very interesting. I have a 15-mm fisheye and my ultra-wide is a 16-35. It's only a 1 mm difference between the fisheye and the widest angle on my 16-35, but there's more than just the focal length there. The ultra-wide-angle has some rectilinear correction that straightens outlines, and the fisheye doesn't. And when you get into focal lengths that short, a single millimeter can make a big change in field of view. So switching to this fisheye really changes what I'm seeing. I get a much wider angle.
