I got the new zr700 and I had the zr400
None of the adapters fit would there be a way to find any for it, becasue thatvwould be a huge waste of money.

Fisheyes suck.. They take so much quality out of the image. Only use it when you have to when you cant zoom out enough.

Mine takes very little away from the quality, it's just those cheap raynoxs that do that. The only bad thing is lens flares, but I rarely get those.

Find out the size of the threads on your camera and buy an appropriate step up ring.

Wilb, what was the similar lens to that one that was used in that robot/pizza delivery video?

Kenko something perhaps?

Or any lens that has lots of distortion and vigention, perhaps the one that all balls have?

The kenko is almost the same as the cokin, which WJDC and All Balls use. The cokin "has better glass quality" but I can't tell a difference.


Brilliant fisheye..Wilbur recomended that to me and I got it from ebay for £23

This is the effect it has.

Webby, I can't reply to your PM, but that fisheye would be alright for the price.

I'm not sure about the glass quality though, since I've never used it.

What lens are we talking about? Or is it an auction? So you dont want competion? If so, dont post the lens. Im completely happy with my decision to get that kenko.

If it's 11mm, it's probably made for actual cameras, not video cameras. Not sure what V11 means though.

It's the number with the circle with a line through it diagonally. Not sure if yours has it or not. If not just assume it's 25mm if it's similar to mine.

Stick with the kenko, it was an auction he was unsure about, but the kenko is a sure thing.

You could always zoom through the vig if it bothered you, but it doesn't show up on a TV anyways, so it doesn't bother me :D
