Hi all,

Yes, I am one of those annoying people who sign up just to ask a couple of questions.
I bought my significant other a Canon G9. She has some crappy Sony point and shoot and a Lomo fisheye, she never stops taking photos so I thought I'd snap up the Canon when it was offered to me new for $300.
So due to reading forums like this one I'm getting the Custom grip and the Lensmate adapter.

My questions are -

I'm pretty sold on getting her a cheap Optek fisheye lens to give her a digital version of the lomo toy. I'm going to visit 47th street photo in person to buy it. Will these lenses work with the Lensmate? Will i need additional adapters or step up rings?

That's about it but I'd appreciate reccomendations on any other cheap accesories she could play with.

Thanks.

as long as the fisheye lens has a 58mm thread pitch itll fit just fine.
if your looking to go the cheap route check out my set up HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=595662)
the quality is outstanding for such a cheap lens
