i really want a fisheye effect for my dSLR
but i have no hope of affording a proper fisheye lens

i am not too bothered about the quality it gives me, but are there any fisheye screw ons you would reccomend

or any old EF mount lenses that are cheap (manual focus is fine)

if not i might buy the "fisheye" 35mm compact, as the effects it gives are very desirable in my eyes!

rogan

thanks

When you ask about a screw-on, I think you may own a point-and-shoot camera -- So, what camera do you own?

Do you already have an ultra-wide angle lens, too?

<20MM?

they have screw ons for the kit lens. they will "work" but image quality really isn't there. here are some samples from a car show in Tokyo I went to.

You can do it in CS2.

Fisheye is going to be wide, that's just how it works. You won't see a 85mm fish eye.
