In my neverending pursuit

of the perfect lens I got a 17mm fish-eye-takumar. I think it's sharper than the Zenitar that I just sold. If conditions are just so, the results are pretty good BUT the flash cannot handle the focal length so it's no good inside. (Maybe with a tripod and all that.)

I didn't get the super multi coated version, maybe I should have held out. I'm curious to see whether it'll actually get used. At least the POSSIBILITY of a good picture is there. This was not the case with the 16mm Zenitar. It was just not sharp enough.
