Cheap thrills

These images were all made with a Spiratone semi fish eye lens. Some of you may remember Spiratone, the king of all gadgets and cheap lenses. This was a very inexpensive and totally manual lens. It didn't even focus. It was neat and although it had all sorts of aberrations it was fun to use.  The camera was the Fuji S-1 Pro my first serious digital camera.
