Hi Jay.

Thanks so much for the speedy reply and the pointer to the PDF.  Since you are the author, is there any possibility for you to post those images mentioned on the web.  or at least one example from each lense.  I and I'm sure others would love to see them too.  BTW, i can't seem to find any examples of the Coastal Digital SLR Fisheye Lens on your site.  Am I not looking in the right place?  TIA
