[Leica] New Toy

[Aram Langhans]

Thanks, Tina, Leo, Jim, Monty and others.  It is fun to see what the lens 
can do as far as forcing me to see things differently.  Certainly not for 
documentary photography to my eye, but I like the idea of being able to see 
things in a way my eye normally does not, and then see if I like it.  So far 
I have tossed about half of what I initially thought might have potential. 
I will keep the quest up.

Appreciate the input in my quest from those who just don't automatically 
dislike like this type of lens for anything.  Just fun.

I like them, especially the first one, but when I have shown fish-eye lens
photos in portfolio reviews (I loved the fact that I could get the entire
house in Honduras in one photo!), the reviews have tossed them out.
