Having a nosey around on Flickr I came across some really good fisheye shots, one of the users had an adapter for his normal 58mm lense, I think its this one:

anyone ever used an adapter such as this?
they seem relatively cheap, does that mean they're crap?

The problem with them is you get the image contained within a circle and black all round the edges.

A proper fisheye like Nikons 10.5 doesnt have that and looks a million times better.

I guess, pretty sure you can get a real fish eye but they are out of my price range.

I wouldn't buy one. All these gimmicky gadgets just aren't worth the money.

Jonny, can you recommend a fisheye lens that will fit my Canon? nothing to extravagant. Just something I can aim for.

Not too sure about Canon stuff, Hoddo. More of a nikon man myself.

Just look for a lens somewhere around the 10mm range and that will give the fisheye effect

Nikons 10.5 and 16mm are.

I didnt mention the 12-24

Im not sure about the sigma one, 10mm must be very wideangled though! I've heard its a good lens
