what kind of camera do you have?

its a real fucking bitch to get a fisheye for a digital SLR unless you have a full frame. I found a sigma that is SUPER wide for like 600-700 dollars but its not even a true fisheye.

yea are u talking about still camera or video?

century optics makes the highest quality hadnblown glass lenses.

the raynox mx3000 semi pro .3x wideangle is a real good deal too for $100. thats what i filmed with mostly this summer

raynox has shit glass, but its better than nothing... since your threads are bigger than 37 you are going to have to go bigger aka get a step-up ring for it... either the mx3 or a death (century)

yea ud have to get a step up ring like he said


and the glass is shitty compared to century lenses but if you take care of it, it will be fine for shooting skiing/skating
