Many "peephole" as fisheye lens blog posts out there. I added vid clips to show an interesting way to work with that look in post. I can appreciate that this is not where most of you are coming or going, but I offer to the general mix... http://obscureobjectfilms.wordpress.com/20...9-fisheye-lens/ Viva la DIY!!!! Shot with a $9 peephole on a Hi-8 cam. Monday, I get to play with a T. Rex lens on a RED cam. So maybe a better phrase, "Variety is the Spice of Life". cheers stephen
