Giving my 'Saved From The Dump' 1985 CONTAX TS II Quartz an outing, I tried a 'Gift' Fish-Eye attachment on an 'also Saved From The Dump' Yashica ML 28mm f2.8 lens with 52 mm filter thread.
FILM was some Old Kodak Tri-X found in fridge --- not in a box so I had no 'date' -- this time I mixed up some Geoffrey Crawley's FX-4 Film Developer 1+1 dilution to compare it with IDII 1+1 and DK50 1+1 -- fog level was the same. Negatives were mostly 'thin' due to a bit of under-exposure and under-development. Next time I will rated film at 250 ASA and give longer time.

The arrow is fab. Dramatic and imposing with the fisheye treatment. The Santa one looks like it was taken from inside a washing machine...

I quite like 'em.
 
Ha Ha !! I'll have to TRY that-- putting my Fish-Eye into our Washing Machine ( when the WIFE is OUT of course !! )
