ebay fisheye lens adaptor.

[awad]

okay, so if any of you guys have been looking at ebay for lenses, you probaby have seen those cheap "fisheye" lens adaptors. well, i went ahead and purchased one. ive always enjoyed weird photography, which is why i own my holga. the adaptor was very cheap, so i went ahead with it. well, let me go ahead and say, its worth every penny i paid for it.

as you guys can probably see, its really not worth buying. but i enjoy it.

and im sure that someone posted a review like this before, but i thought i'd show you how it was from my perspective.

thats cool...i really like the flower shot...very artistic...i would crop out the black corners, but i know some people might like it...how is the quality of the glass? got a 100% crop we can see?

I don't think you need to see a 100% crop. On a prime fisheye, almost everything in those pictures (except for the guitar neck one) would be in focus. The fuzziness around the edges would not be there. Thanks for posting them awad.

well, let me go ahead and say, its worth every penny i paid for it.

To me, that would mean that it had to be significantly cheaper than a lensbaby (<50$) because it has similar optical performance, but not the flexibility :lol:

Best regards,

I like the flower shot to. It has that 19th century look to it, only with color.

That flower shot is indeed a stunner.
Gives me ideas for using my own fisheye thingy.
