Using Your Fisheye Lens as a Wide Angle Lens

[@Mitcheb4]

I really enjoy seeing the comparisons you all do in your videos. The style you used in this one reminds me of how you compared teleconverters vs cropping. This helps me so much to better understand how I might approach this. Thanks!

Happy to help Brian!

[@rovers1951]

Thanks Rich, all is good!

Fisheye feels like anime following lines. Especially for action/conflict scenes.

[@Di5Glitter]

Awesome info!

[@paulk329]

Nice one Eric thanks for sharing 👍

[@BillEricPhotography]

Thanks Paul!

[@dopexmc7901]

Did you tried it with DaVinci resolve as well? im not in so i cant search for this. But nice info

[@a2roland]

Thank you.

[@BillEricPhotography]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnherzel718]

How much resolution do we loose in the corners? Also how much keystone correction can we apply before the image degrades? Because this sounds like a lot of fun! I am looking at the Samyang/Rokinon 8mm f3.5. for my M50

[@BillEricPhotography]

I lost almost no image quality, but I am using a very expensive fisheye (Canon 8-15mm). You should definitely try it out with the Samyang 8 before settling on it, you may have different results. Although I think you will be happy with that.

Thats interesting but I am picking something I think it is a little brighter ha stay safe and take care all of you which is easier Light room or that other one photo shop see ya

[@BillEricPhotography]

Yes it’s just a little different like I mentioned you can make some minor adjustments to get the exact same shot

[@p_adam19]

With the powerful processors in today's mirrorless cameras, it would be easy to show the corrected image in-camera, so one could frame it much better for this purpose. But it's probably not something they would embrace, when they need to sell ultra wide-angle lenses.

[@BillEricPhotography]

Good point

[@aaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

6:30 is the reason they dont offer that, its just unprofessional

[@okaro6595]

That is essentially what many mirrorless cameras do though not with fisheye lenses. Many wide angle lenses are designed to be used always with corrections and the image they naturally do has fish eye-like distortions. This is mostly hidden from the user as the correction is done on the fly. Compact cameras have done this since 2008 or so.

[@belakulcsar]

What softweare did you use at @1:23 ?

[@BillEricPhotography]

Lightroom classic

[@Arvnbro]

how can i do that in Darktable or Gimp ?

[@BillEricPhotography]

sorry I do not know. Lightroom as all of the lenses preloaded so you just select the lens and it automatically corrects.

[@evtimstefanov8377]

I don't think it works with third party manual lenses... Something worth mentioning IMHO.

[@BillEricPhotography]

There is not a preset for 3rd party manual cameras but you can still choose the canon fisheye as the preset and get the same result

[@arifnasution8102]

more affordable fisheye FF lens coming these days, and ultrawide FF keep getting pricier especially fast lens, makes me prefer using fisheye to get hyper wide angleview

[@BillEricPhotography]

Hey I agree, sometimes the fisheye produces a more visually interesting image

[@KingNidus]

Great video. So It’s just not good for taking pictures of people 👍

[@BillEricPhotography]

Not really unless you want a fun unique look.

[@bamsemh1]

Don't buy fisheye if you are going to ruin it anyway 🤦‍♂️ amateurs these days
