I always love that fisheye view and wide angle, but that found border keeps throwing me off. I imagine there isn't a good way to fill the square image without cropping in tighter and losing some of that wide angle? This sort of makes me think that multiple shots stitched together could maybe give you something similar and yet give you a full image. But then again there is something satisfying about doing it all in one shot in the camera.
Anyway, I love this shot and the lens works well to give an interesting view to the depth of that bus. I really love "normal" photos, but done in a way that shows something familiar with a slightly different view. A different perspective than what a "normal person" might see and show something as.

This particular fisheye was a true fisheye in that... well... its pretty self explanatory with the circular border. It was a rented sigma 8mm f3.5 autofocus. I had a full manual (and older) Rokinon 8mm f3.5 that had such a soft focus I sold it. I'd consider a newer model Rokinon. It didn't have the round framing. I like the crispness of the majority of the image with this lens and used it strictly for a fun twist, it had heavy chromatic aberration at the edges, and a slightly softer focus (both typical for fisheye lenses)
