Lens advice

[Mustard]

New to the forum and a shiny new D90 to use at my leisure, i wonder if you can give me some advice.

I have got a Nikon D90 with 18 - 105 lens and wonder of this would be compatible,

in essence i want to capture london buildings and wonder if this will assist, i realise that you get what you pay for and money is now tight due to my recent purchase, but advice is appreciated

your 18-105 should do just fine if you want to photo buildings.

This fish eye will give you a "special effect" photo which is certainly fun but will be limited in what you can/want to use it for.

on the other hand it's a cheap lens, and yes you do get what you pay for so don't expect much from it quality wise!

my advise would be save you cash for a better lens and do some research, look at sample photos of different lenses and talk to people first before spreading your hard earned cash about!

I think that it screws on to the front of your existing lens like a filter.
Your 18-105 is not listed in the advert however.
There should be filter sizes shown on the existing lens & the new adaptor, these have to be the same.
The advert says 52mm.
