You are going to need this software, fish-eye-hemi, to convert fish-eye photos to rectilinear photos.

Great software. Makes me want to go out and buy a fisheye.


Just out of curiosity, I looked for fisheyes on ebay - $3,000 and up, no surprise there. But then I came across these lenses - available for any DSLR. It seems to be an actual lens, rather than an add-on, but why so cheap?

Do any of you have any experience with these?

I have been shopping around myself. The lower the number, the higher the distortion. They say you get what you pay for, but for my situation, I have to make do with what I've got.

Have you checked these out? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=fisheye+lens+67mm+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=fishey+lens+67mm&_rdc=1

They seem more like those tele converters than actual fisheye lenses. I've thrown enough good money after bad. I have no immediate need for a fisheye, but the Bell & Howell/Rokinon 8mm F/3.5 looks pretty good for under $300.
