If you got a "cheapo" f4 17mm you are really lucky. That's a great lens. Wish I still had the one I sold years ago.
Congratulations.

The lens came with a defective but cosmetically beautiful Icarex 35S serving as rear lens cap, needed a bit of cleaning, but I like the integrated filters... I did a lot of "fisheyeing" with a HAMA screw-on 0,42 Semi-Adaptor, but that´s a rather bulky thing: you select an adapter-ring for the thread on your chosen wide-angle lens, screw on an additional skylight- or orange- or whatever-filter, screw on the HAMA- fisheye and, once completed, it looks very awkward, like a oversized tele-lens... now it´s very compact, and with the enormous DOF and a fast film, there you go.
see ya,
philipp

Here's a bad example of the 17mm Tak coverage, shot about 25 years ago.  |
