Fish Eye Views on the Auerbacher Castle

Shots are taken with a Soligor Fish Eye lens 0.15X. First time in use after I received this from a friend who found it in the basement. Condition was ok but not too good (moisture). It appeared quite mystic - the mount seemed not to fit to any or my cameras. Only at a second glance I realised that it had to be mounted to the lens of a camera. As it had a 52mm adapter I mounted it to a Canon 50mm lens and Canon AV1 camera. Also using a new film - the ADOX CHS100 II. I am still unsure whether I like it...but the shots in particular on the castle unveil quite new dimensions on the usual surrounding. Will experiment further from time to time. Developed in Adonal 1+25 for 5'30'' agitated.

    Eine sehr interessante Vorsatz-Linse! Die Effekte sind sehr hübsch geraten. Damit kann man schon mal arbeiten und einige neue Sichtweisen ausprobieren... Ein tolles Beispiel!

    @sierravictor @Lomo-elyson Thanks for your encouragements. I will for sure continue to experiment with this lens.

    ...unter meine Mails schreibe ich meistens: "Wer Tippfehler findet, darf sie behalten!" (ich selbst habe halt dicke Finger und eine viel zu kleine Tastatur.....)
