Like other fisheye lens photos you've probably seen, the resulting photos come out very bent looking. The lens' field of view, horizontally, is 180 degrees, but there is the whole bent look thing.
This is where things get really interesting. Nikon designed this lens specifically for its digital SLRs. It also designed post-processing software called Capture NX. It includes a correction function specifically matched to this lens. Since they controlled both ends of the equation, they were able to get the correction just right.
The lens just arrived today, so I took it outside tonight shortly after sunset and took a photo of the front of the house. Here are the results, as shot and after the correction in Capture NX (click on each one for a better look):

Corrected (and cropped a bit)
I love it. I can't wait to see what I can do with this around some interesting architecture.

The effect is pretty sharp. And your home is beautiful.
your home is so nice and well-manicured!!
what do you do with a fisheye lens?
I want that home.
Yay for the 10.5 fisheye. Nice photo, too. Though I kinda like the fisheye effect to begin with. I bet you'll have fun with the new lens!
Your photos always look so sharp and clear. Mine look like shit!
