Re: Advice on a wide angle lens

I’m currently pondering buying a wide angle lens and I’m thinking of buying the 14mm as, if I’m going wide angle, I want the startling effect it will give.  I used to have the Samyang 8mm for Sony, which was a ‘real’ fisheye (though not as extreme as some).  With that, I used a plug in called ‘Fish-eye Hemi’ which very effectively ‘defished’ the images into a good  rectilinear image without unduly distorting the edges.  I wonder if it could be used on a wide angle to remove any distortions it might have. No doubt there’s a trial version available.
