Fisheye YO-YO for Yo

Justyn,

Thanks for posting your clip here! I just got that same lens and love it.

Is the filmmaker in SF still working on her project? I'd like to contribute if possible. I helped shoot this part on the National Yo-Yo Museum for TurnHere.com. It includes the largest Yo-Yo in the world.

Great use of the fisheye lens!
Check out the screenshot i got of your clip.

I still haven't found a comparison between the Century .55x fisheye and the 16x9 .45x Superfisheye. (to compare wideness mainly)
I like my 16x9 fisheye but it does have tiny vignetting in the upper left top corner, like the extreme lens does.
If anyone knows of such a comparison, please link me!
I loved the Century Extreme fish vs. .55x fish comparison i found on these forums.
 
sweet indeed ya'll. I like shooting with a fast shutter for that exact ability to get good grabs anywhere really. I wasn't able to pull it off in the hall though.. dismal lighting everywhere even on the main stage. They had like maybe 4K of light on the stage and it just wasn't enough to make anything pop...

I saw some of the .45 footage and it really is wide.. super wide and I think more of mine as an extreme wide and not really a fish. It seems more usable and I'll never buy the .6 as my friend has that and it's crap since you have to zoom in to loose the vignetting anyway. The .75 with zoomthrough seems interesting but that's a lot for just a little bit wider.


I'll be cutting a few things together this week and hope to land another gig. This one will be a big one. Doesn't it seem now that we are hitting out stride with the HVX? I mean. I've gotten 10x more work with it this year than last year and I though I'd be slammed after I got it... Interesting times I think for all and I'm about to plunk some more cash on another toy. Any thoughts?
 
Seriously, Justyn. You're putting me a bad position with the wife. Now I have to let her do her "thing" (Whatever that ends up being) so I can plant the seed for the .55 purchase. ;)

But thanks! You helped me decide to grab this earlier than I had planned. :)
 
well it is worth it and sometimes we have to make compromises.. but maybe you should tell her that you are buying the extreme lens for 3k and then you could get the cheap fish and have a nice 2500 for more toys.

I like it! See, a man with a wife and child understands the logic. :)
