Fisheyes: The Rundown.

lol

omg its famous

Look at the fruit basket on the TV.

It's so out of place next to the 'razor wire' sign.

I put razor blades in the apples to stop people stealing them

I wanna get a new fish eye for my camcorder (I have the qc 303) but I want one with a really fishy effect (lots of vignetting)

and after being through all these threads I still cant find one to fit thats actually fishy! could someone help

me out?.... also I dont have much money. ill spend 20 - 30 quid (I know that narrows it down a bit)

I have a Sony Dcr Hc36 handycam
will this lens work be good for it? CLick Here
and it says it turns this:


INTO THIS


is that true??

that looks a bit extreme, cant be right

Yeah it will look similar to that.

I've considered getting a cheaper fish eye for my VX2100 instead of the Raynox. I have a cheap fish eye (about $30) for my Panasonic GS300 and love it. I've been looking at these two lenses -

Lens 1

Lens 2

Or would it be better to just save up more for the Raynox MX-3000?

I would say wait, if u are going to spend that much on a camera then might as well go all the way right?

no! I wish!
that lens is prob. half that size when u put it on..
its just a wide angle lens spin off


dont even save for a raynox, there not bad though, I have one for the jap. vx that I have, but I widened the fisheye like the one tutorial (if anyone feels like finding it agian for me) that also works kinda, but its more dome shaped and not circular like it sould be... I recoemd anything from century optics.. cant go wrong with that at all

True, but I don't have the money for anything Century Optics puts out. I'll probably just buy one of those lenses for now, and if it sucks I'll try to resale it.

Edit: That one is like $70. I might as well spend like $40 more and get the Raynox.

yeah get that
and use that to widen the raynox when u get it

that always works

The Raynox just looks cool to me. Does widening it cause it to have some Vig?

Vig is nice from time to time.

yeah it dose
but I duno man
sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesnt
depends on what camera I guess

Would it still be worth $42 thouugh?
Would it look like a fisheye lens or just a wide angle lens?

Just wondering what the smallest size you can get for a fish eye lens because I got a shocking shit camera and wanna try and get a fish eye/wide eye lens for it

Can't wait until I get my DCR-FE180Pro.

That's pretty much what I look like when I think about it.

So what Century Optics Lens would fit on this camera...

Lens: Leica Dicomar 13 x Zoom
4.2 mm to 55 mm f/1.6
(35 mm Still Film Equivalence 32.5 to 423 mm)
82 mm Filter Diameter

think this would be anygood for my HC3?

I dont need anything really nice, but I just want a decent fish eye for the time being.

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

I just ordered a sony vx1000 and a raynox mx3000pro. all I need now is a 52mm-58mm step up ring and I'm all set?

Yeah

I got the MX3K and its awesome. Just don't cover it in blood because that takes ages to get off.

I wanna get a raynox mx 3000 for my vx2100, I've scoured ebay for them and found a few sellers selling it for $155 but cant find anybody who'll take paypal of more than $150 from the uk...

anybody know of international sellers willing to take paypal payments of more than $150?

I got mine for £17

century optics or nothin
