fisheye adapters

December 1st, 2011
hey everyone,
so I'm looking for a cheap solution for a fish eye lens. I'm 15, without a job...
sooo I dont have a lot to spend. I'm thinking of buying a fisheye adapter. If you have one, I would really like to know how good it is, and if it is worth my money.

I'm not willing to spend more than 70$ (once again, I'm 15 without a job)
so if you find some, could you please link them through to me? (Cheap price, good quality)


thanks everyone :)

i bought my fish from this seller (for a canon 500) comes from hong kong http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/hkdcplus

a few examples of mine at various degrees of fish eye, you can see it loses it clarity the more you extend it....hence why they cheap alternative though.

Thanks for this thread. I also have the same problem of being broke all the time (College student = all money I get from working goes to pay for it), and was contemplating a way for a fish eye.

I bought a very cheap fisheye lens on line for $35.00. Not the best but good enough for me to play with it just for fun. Im not a pro here at all.

This is an example of the cheap one. I needed to be further back but didn't have the room. Good luck with it.
