I have always dreamed of owning a semi fish-eye lens . This weekend it will get a lot of use . I don't go to ball games though . These New Zealanders are surprised that I don't watch rugby either , but if I hear that the South African team won , I wear my springbok rugby shirt to town just to rile them . If SA loses I email my brother back home and tell him " I see 'we' won the rugby " . Either way , I get to rile someone ....
Maybe I will send a picture of my face distorted , but taken with a normal lens

That doesn't accept screw-on filters, does it? If not, you may have trouble keeping the front element clear of nose prints.

It does accept screw on filters , that's one of its strengths . It came with a UV filter which I fitted straight away . I never realized how close the dog was until I opened both eyes ...

I could tell that from the perspective. I was only half-joking about the nose prints. I also risk getting the giggles every tome I look at those images.

Looks like you're having entirely too much fun with your new toy, and may have too much time on your hands, too. :

The beauty of being single , buy the lenses you want , do what you want .
The worlds shortest fairytale " John asked Mary to marry him , Mary said " no" so John lived happily ever after , bought a D200 , all the lenses he wanted [ including a 10-20mm] , took lots of pictures and burped whenever he wanted "
