Fisheye Lenses

[Kryptix]

Has anyone bought a fisheye lens off eBay before?

Something like those?

They also do 'fisheye converters' like this:

You would get better IQ some a real fisheye but then again they do cost a bit more than an eBay alternative.

Sigma 4.5mm

You get what you pay for :shrug:

Sometimes the odd ancient or Russian one turns up on Ebay for pennies, but you'd need pretty low expectations to find them satisfactory...

You could try THIS (http://shop.lomography.com/fisheye/) before you decide to spend hundreds of pounds on a proper fish eye lens.

The Lomo Fish Eye 2 is something i've been looking at buying for a while, not sure if I can justify buying it having just spent a lot on stuff for portraiture.. But it looks a lot of fun! Remember, it's not digital.

I have to say I've NEVER been dissapointed with my Peleng either on 1.6 or 1.3 crop bodies, bang for the bucks it's an awesome lens, not the sort of thing I use every day but I wouldn't be with out mine it's a keeper for sure.
