The more common use for the fisheye lens: the silly portrait. As a result, it’s a lot easier to just take silly portraits with one than try to make any “serious” photos. Fisheye lenses are rarely used for landscapes because of their tendency to curve the horizon if not perfectly centered, thus making the distortion the most attention grabbing part of the photograph.
It is a lens that rarely sees itself mounted to your camera, either staying in your bag or sitting on the shelf and collecting dust. Fisheye lenses often scream “Distortion!” and as a result, the fisheye is considered a specialty lens by most photographers. The fisheye lens is typically pigeonholed into a few specialty uses: things like action sports photography (made especially popular by the GoPro), underwater photography, and the occasional distorted portrait. I’ve owned the earlier version of this lens and I have used other fisheye lenses in the past but never thought seriously (until now) about the wide distorted photos that they made. I recently purchased the new Rokinon 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye II lens that was just released for mirrorless cameras.
