[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 445060, member: 24285"] A fisheye for fun - looking at a $150 Lensbaby 12mm fisheye. Like I said just for fun - not a serious lens I'm told but makes some crazy images. Nikon 10.5 Fishy is $767 while I could get a DX Tokina 10-17 for $643 but thats a DX which would be OK either use it on my D5100 or just in crop frame. Might be cool on the D610 uncropped because you get a circular image anyway. Not sure the speed of a fisheye would matter a lot, Nikon 2.8 vs 3.5-4.5 for Tokina. And maybe some filters Gave thought to putting the money towards N.D. filters - don't have any of those and think that would be interesting to try And I think I should get a protective filter (UV ?) for the front of this new lens. I see that price on these ranges a lot. If it is just clear glass is there a lot of difference between the $30 one on Amazon vs the $130 ones at the camera stores? and maybe another flash - thinking about the Metz 44AF-1 ($220) vs buying Yongnuo off shore? They do have the Sigma 'super' [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]EF-610 but read a few poor reviews - but maybe - more powerful than Metz for about same dollars ($199). A compact flash may be just the ticket though. [/FONT][/COLOR]or ..... Somehow I don't think it will be hard to spend $630 at a camera store eh? Even if I don't buy a lens. [/QUOTE]
