My review of the 15/3.5 states this lens is prone to flare. As you have demonstrated quite well.

Thomas - who was that old geezer you photographed? I don't think I recognise him.   :-\  ;D

Here are positively the last images I  will post on this thread - variations on a theme -

Dave,  I really like all of these last photographs.  I must admit to having a soft spot in my heart for images of old, falling down, barns and buildings.  The bike only adds extra character to this wonderful shot.  Lowell

Thank you, Jakov and Lowell - it really means a lot to me that you like the work. And Lowell, if you've looked at all 28pages of this thread, then top marks to you for sticking to it.

I like Chris's Glen Etive pictures too. He gets really good things with that fisheye (but not only the fisheye).

I know that there have been many fish-eye images in this thread, but Erik's big fish inspired us all  8)
I know that there have been many tree shots in this thread, but Dave's photos inspired us all  8)

Anyhow, something that I have noticed was that you don't need to get far away from home to make a photo.
This one was taken one morning just next to the lodges...

I am going through my photos more systematically and I am currently editing images from the day of the hike to Ben Lawers, which took Bez, Simone and me all the way trhough most of the ridge: Beinn Ghlas, Ben Lawers, An Stuc and Meall Garbh.
Here is a pano of An Stuc, seen looking west while ascending the last Munro of the day, Meall Garbh. To the left, higher, is Ben Lawers.
Colour and B&W versions (I made three B&W conversions, with Color Efex, DxO Film Pack 3 and Lightzone; the last is my pick).

I have to say these circular fisheye images are pretty mindblowing.

I love that mountain shot, Simone - it makes those hills look like one of the major ranges. Colour or mono, both excellent.

Also Jakov's circular fisheye shot - very very nice. I think I'm gonna have ta git one o' those critters . . . .
