I really like those Dan. Well, the landscape ones anyway. For some
reason the ones that give the strong fisheye effect hurt my eyes.
:-) I especially like the colors - are they straight out of the box
or did you adjust them in post processing?

I've never owned a fisheye lens so what are the things to look out
for when using one for landscapes? I'd think that you'd want to keep
the camera relatively level and watch out for vertical objects toward
the edge of the frame (or maybe avoid them altogether). Also,
looking at your shots, it seems that it's best to keep the horizon
close to the center of the frame which kinda limits the composition.
Mitchelle just told me that UPS just delivered a package from Adorama
so I guess I need to go upstairs, open up the box, and start finding
out what this E-330 stuff is all about. Unfortunately, I don't have
a lens that I can mount on the body right now so I guess I'll just
have to be satisfied with reading the manual and charging the
battery, at least until my OM to "E" adapter arrives from Hong Kong.
Later,
Johnny
