I picked up an 8 mm awhile back and had just started getting to know it before things went south with 2020.
So I have also been thinking about getting it out again to start over on the learning curve.
One of the sites I found interesting is:
https://jywarren.github.io/fisheyegl/example/#a=1&b=1&Fx=0&Fy=0&scale=1.5&x=1&y=1

put a photo on your desktop and drag and drop it onto the web page and you can change any degree you want to remove the complete fisheye or add to it without cropping. Interesting enough I think you could take a regular photo and make it a fisheye printout so you wouldn't even need a fisheye lens to get the effect.

It's open source and implies that you can up and download settings by lens type if someone has already played with the same lens you have. I never got a chance to really play with the site but kept it because it looked promising.

I tried to drag an 8mm image from my desk top, onto the white box, but only the 'title' of the file appeared at the top. Am I missing something?

It seems the program prefers the Google Chrome browser to work right. I have tried other browsers and most don't load the picture right I also was using Jpeg, hope that helps

I think that might help. I'm also trying to learn the Fisheye-Hemi software. Have you had any experience with that?

no, nothing else, I had just got my lens when 2020 hit us, and it has been sitting since
