Default Fisheye photos - does anyone else like them?

I find myself in the minority of prefering fishey perspective to the stretched corners of rectilinear for a good number of images. I agree that buildings are usually better rectilinear but that is about it. Anyone else into this 'distortion'?

For certain things, there's just no other way to portray it - like skateboarding.

Default Re: Fisheye photos - does anyone else like them?

I like it, but in limited use. Thus, I don't own a fisheye lens, merely one of the fisheye attachments since $35 is most likely as much as I'll use it. I've used it slightly a little more often lately, but I know that won't last long.

Great for spontaneous portraits!
