I’ve heard stories of these drapes, but I had to go to IKEA to see for myself. I know that implied hearts are trendy, but why always in Helvetica bold?!

Bobcats vs Cavs

This is a little embarassing on professional shoots.

Bower 8mm fisheye test run

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:47:16 +0000

I picked up a Bower 8mm fisheye lens the other day and took it on a couple test runs. So far, from a video perspective, I’m more than impressed with this lens. It’s very wide and very well constructed. I feel like this thing can take a solid beating.

I don’t have a lot of experience with professional still photography, but in my opinion, this lens is great in that realm too. It’s very sharp and produces some great color. The biggest flaw that I’ve noticed is some slight chromatic aberration around the edges at full res but once the image is scaled down, it looks fine. It flares up quite a bit when pointed directly at the sun, but I’m guessing that’s normal.

It was $400 with a really good insurance plan. I’m counting on this lens getting hit by a board at some point, so the insurance is nice. Can anybody compare the Bower to the Samyang and Sigma counterparts? I’d love to know the difference between the three.
