[youngi]

hi,
well i want to get the a400 for its price and my usage, i want to film skateboarding, but i don't want to pay on camcorders,and i like the movies of a400, so what do i do if i want to attach a fisheye lens to it? did any one try something like that before?

also, what's the difference between tele conversion lens and fisheye lens?

thanx

A telephoto lens with make things closer and a wideange will give you a wider picture. Fisheye lens will give you a round distorted picture. There are some magnetic conversions lens that will stick on the front for your lens. Do a web search for them.

It will be very hard to find a fisheye that you can attach to a small point and shoot camera. You need at least .4x conversion lens (18 mm equiv). I did find something at:

You may be the first to try. There are two sizes, the KMW045L is bigger. You need to measure the size of your lens and see which one is the best fit. But, bigger is better in this case. It may still not work very good, so be prepared to send it back.
