so, every time I use this lens, I have to crop it down to get rid of the box...

even AFTER the crop, I can still manage to get 4-6MB files from it since the resolution and MPx is so high on the D800...

below is an example of what it looks like uncropped, and then a few more cool looking shots......

it's pretty versatile when you're in and around a high school baseball dugout, in the living room, in a car or inside of a small gazebo

again, it's just a novelty lens, but it's still pretty cool to have...
Okay, I understand. Your cropping makes it look like a diagonal fish-eye on a full-frame body. That works pretty darn good.
