The Earth’s curvature…

No, not really..but I was in the service area early today and I brought the Rokinon 8mm wide angle lens with me.   Those ultra-wides throw in a lot of barrel distortion (that’s what you call the curvature around the edges of the photo), and I liked the way this shot of Gerry (along with a monster BMW in for service) turned out…

The Rokinon 8mm lens is designed for the smaller DX-sized sensors on most digital cameras.   When it’s used on the larger full frame D810 Nikon, it vignettes the photo as you see above.   The D810 has a setting where it will crop out the vignetting and make the camera believe it has the smaller DX sensor, but I like the way the vignetting frames these photos.

We get a lot of other-than-CSC motorcycles in for service (we work on nearly any bike).   Gerry and his folks do superior work and we don’t gouge customers.   If you have a motorcycle that needs servicing, please give us a call at 909 445 0900 and ask for Gerry.   We’re running an oil change special this coming Dual Sports and Donuts Saturday for just $19.95 (plus fluids and parts), so let us know if you want to swing by.
