John, some people use the fisheye as a startling gimmick, an "attention getter." But that soon gets tedious. I just love it for the very wide-angle coverage it gives. And as my "about" says, it's getting so the distortion doesn't bother me too much. In fact I can often, these days, minimize it by carefully choosing the angle at which I take, and the composition. Fisheyes are FUN. I'm hooked. (Thanks for your encouraging comment.)

Roger the distortion is a strange thing. I did not notice it lookin at the image. Then I read your comments and it just jumped out and bit me. I think that the story telling does overwhelm it and thus it becomes a minor nit. JB I guess thats a back handed way of sayin I like the image!

Thanks, Chris. The film is the 400 ISO emulsion, which I tend to use in the summer, so it should have had less grain than usual! Perhaps the graininess is the result of slight underexposure of the performers, and the fact that wide as this is it is a crop of only part of the area of the negative. The scan is the usual Fuji shop scan. I'll try scanning it myself to see if I can do better. I have a very nice scanner but usually keep it for larger negs that Fuji won't touch.

Amazing looking instruments, Roger!
Pity you couldn't attach a sound file!
Best regards, Chris
P.S. This one looks a little grainy, too. Could that be the scan, or the film?
