Where?
I have to use elipse selection (pressing shift to make ir round) and then inverse the selection to paint it all black.
It's easy but takes a while.

Oh, I don't know. Perhaps the thing to do is to crop it to the circle even though it gets zoomed...

The photo looks like a quick shot in a kitchen. It's a starting point and I see proof of concept. If I believed in Santa I'd be writing to the north pole and not posting here.  :D

Hi,
I come to this website to have fun, not to attend to anyone's rude requests or read snappy references to what I've written.
You'd better buy the lens and make your own tests.

Atpaula, Very nice shots with your new Fisheye-Zoom! 
I have an old 8mm f/2.8, those also have a small blue edge, not quite as wide, but I trim them also.
I use a slightly modified version of this video instruction:

I think it can be made into a Photoshop action, although I have not done that yet.
I actually like your black trim around your shots.
Your lens looks sharp to me.
Thanks for posting your shots.

That's a fantastic hint!!!
My borders are too much imperfect and unequal and now I've learned how to make a proper border, like I've done to my square pics.
Just have to train now how to use the many new concepts to me.
Thank you so much for posting it.

See below my first perfect border.
The problem to use Photoshop is to learn what do the words mean. They say STROKE instead Of BORDER.
Anyway, I'm very grateful for the hint.
Thank you Kuri.
