Hey,
Sorry but I really want to ask this question, is this done with a specific fish eye lens, or can you get something to attach to the end of a lens and get the same effect? I think it's really great.

Maybe a warning about the off color, racist lyrics would be a good idea for those at work or with children around.

That said, I'm assuming that you're asking about the wide, low angle shots. To me, it does appear to have some FE distortion but not a whole lot....almost like it was a FE lens used on a crop sensor. A similar effect could also be had just using a wide angle lens with a little distortion added in post. As far as the lens attachments, I would steer clear of them if at all possible.....they usually produce sub-par IQ at best.

You will get the fish eye result but horrible IQ with the add on type lens. So depends on what you are looking for.
