1) Landscapes/sceneries
2) Candids
3) Group shots
4) Panos
jasphotography said:Fisheye, whether AF or MF, can be used for all sorts of application (street, candid or architecture... haven't heard or seen much that people used fisheye for landscape, film wise I mean).
I personally see no problem or difficulties in using fisheye for candid shots since wide angle lens, especially fisheye, has tremenduous amount of DOF. In other words, for most fisheye lens, anything that is beyond 1m is rendered sharp.
sumball, I suppose when you said you want to do candid, your subject should be at quite a distance away. If your subject is 1m away or more, simply set your manual focus fisheye lens to infinity, wait for the right moment and fire it away....

sumball said:Group photos.... will it be very funny on someone's face cos of the curve created by the fisheye....
Sorry for the confusion. What i meant was those full-frame fisheye, with 180 degrees diagonal field-of-view.ST1100 said:What is a 'rectilinear fisheye lens'? i thot the two are mutually exclusive...
