Some crazy distortion here ... very hard to focus with a fish-eye!

Well, to focus is not so hard with this kind of lenses.

Perhaps I should have said 'compose'.

Yes they seem to grab whatever's in front of them.

But it's hard to find anything in the viewfinder.

And what the picture ends up looking like, usually a surprise.

I should dust mine off, one fellow calls them 'funkbusters'.

Sometimes I even don't look at the viewfinder, I put the camera low and take a picture, then I change an angle of the camera and take another one and repeat this 4-5 times. :)

LOL!

Yes I did find a wedding photographer who recommended them for just this reason.

Yes, one of the far east ancestry! :)

If I remember correctly, his technique was to use two cameras.

Not sure if he tried to get focus with either of them, definitely machine-gun.

He did have some really stunning pictures but lots of culls I am sure.

Yes, you are right, with two cameras, like a some villain in an old movie. :)
