I dont think that thing has threads. You would have to glue or JB weld a stepup ring onto the camera to put a fisheye on. I explain how to do that on here already so look around for it.

Somethin to 37mm, i don't know what size to get for your camera, your own your own for that. Get a kenko or opteka fisheye

Does anyone know about the Samyang MF 8/3,5 Fisheye? Im getting one to my canon. It doesnt have autofocus but you dont really need one in a fisheye, becouse the depth of field is so large. And there does not go any power between lens and camera. All the reviews ive read about this lens have been good. And its very cheap, only about 200 euros. So should i get this? I think i should.

Sorry if my english was not perfect, but i think you can understand it. :D

If your looking into buying a fisheye, heres a run down on what to get. I doubt any of you guys have VX's or anything so im not going to get into those.

What to get:
The Kenko - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...570&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation
If your on a budget, this is the lens to get. Good distortion, wide angle and decent glass. I recommend it.

Opetka Ultra Fisheye - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0AC9P7T8WCN1YEVPB6QZ
Pretty much the budget version of the baby death. Glass quality is not as good, but i seriously can't tell the picture difference.

Century Optics .3 Fisheye (aka Baby Death)- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...145&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation
The best fisheye. Get this if your serious and can afford it, its amazing.

What not to get:
Demon Fisheye - Im not posting the link
Yeah its a fisheye, but it stinks. The pictures on their site are not taken with the lens, or a video camera. The Kenko is better and half the price. Don't waste your money.

Raynox QC303 Snapon - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...350&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation
This lens isn't too bad except for that its a snap on. If you glue it onto a step ring its decent, but i wouldn't waste the money on it since its like plastic.

WILL *insert lens here* FIT MY CAMERA
First find out the lens size (usually 37mm) than you need to find out your cameras thread size. You can do this by looking at the lens of your camera, there should be some text around it. Look for a O with a slash though it, next to that it should say a number usually 37, 30.5, 30 and somtimes in the 20s. When you find that, you need to buy the appropriate step up ring so the lens will fit the camera - so if your camera has a 30mm mount and the lens is 37mm, you need a 30 to 37 stepup ring. You can buy them here - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=NavBar&A=search&Q=&ci=420

The Raynox qc303 is a fucking piece of shit and you don't know what you are talking about. It snaps on and the glass quality is shittier than a kenko. The barrell distortion and width of the qc303 is terrible. Kenkos is decent with maco, if you remove the macro you get a shit load more width+distortion. I've used both lenses. Reguardless, all of those lenses suck, everyones putting them on piece of shit 1 chip cameras anyway, what the hell does it matter.
